the process of digestion is completed in the small intestine. The food coming from the stomach is acidic and it has to be make alakaline ( alkali are the bases which can be dissolved in water) for the pancreatic enzymes to act on it. Therefore, liver secrets bile juice to act on the fats present in small intestine in the form of large globules which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them.
