Answer:
Bile makes the food alkaline for the action of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes in the small intestine. *Bile brings about emulsification of fats which are later digested by intestinal lipases.

Answer:
- The small intestine Digestive juice that combines with pancreatic juice and bile to complete digestion.
- The body completes the breakdown of proteins and the final breakdown of starches produces glucose molecules which is absorbed into the blood.
- The bile mixes with the fat in food and it dissolves fat into the watery contents of the intestine so that the intestinal and pancreatic enzymes can digest the fat molecules.
Explanation :
- Our small intestine secretes three major digestive juices . They are :
Bile juice
Pancreatic juice
Intestinal juice
Bile Juice
- A fluid that is secreted in the small intestine, is highly variable in constitution, and contains especially various enzymes like erepsin, lipase, lactase, and amylase.
- Intestinal juice is composed of hormones, digestive enzymes, mucus, and neutralizing substances released from the glands and mucous-membrane lining of the small and large intestines.
- Intestinal juice contains hormones, digestive enzymes, mucus, substances to neutralize hydrochloric acid coming from the stomach and Erepsin which further digests polypeptides into amino acids, completing protein digestion.
Intestinal Juice
Intestinal juice consists of the following enzymes:
- Disaccharidases – It is also called maltases which are used to convert the maltose into glucose.
- Dipeptidases – Dipeptidases enzymes are used to convert the dipeptides into simple amino acids.
- Lipases – Lipases converts the diglycerides and monoglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.
- Nucleosidases – Nucleosidases are used to convert the nucleotides into nucleosides, sugars, and bases.
- Lactases – Lactases converts the lactose into simple glucose.
