Question

Bile juice doesn't contain any digestive enzymes, yet it is
essential for digestion, why so? Kindly explain in 50-60 words .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fats are present in the form of large globules in intestine which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile salts present in bile juice break down fats into smaller globules, (i.e. emulsifies fats) which increases the efficiency of enzyme action. In addition, bile juice also makes the acidic food coming from the stomach alkaline, so that pancreatic enzymes can act on Function of the.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bile is a digestive juice secreted by the liver. Although it does not contain any digestive enzymes, it plays an important role in the digestion of fats. Bile juice has bile salts such as bilirubin and biliverdin. These break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them. This process is known as emulsification of fats. Bile juice also makes the medium alkaline and activates lipase.
