Question

State the function of (a) bile juice and (b) pancreatic juice in the human
digestive system.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The function of the bile juice is to make the food alkaline. It also breaks down the fat molecules. The pancreatic juices are trypsin which is a protein-breaker and lipase which converts the fat globules into glycerol. The walls of the small intestine also produce a juice that breaks fat down even more.

Answer 2

Explanation:

(a) Bile juice is secreted by the liver. It is a yellowish colour fluid. The main function of bile juice is to digest the lipid molecules and to activate the lipase enzymes.

(b) During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones. These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood.
