Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows it.
Bile juice is stored in a sac called, gall bladder, located near its organ of secretion, liver. The gall
bladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile
juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be
digested easily because
they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules.Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets
into smaller droplets.These are then easily digested by the enzymes released from
the pancreas.
