Answer 1

The correct statement regarding bile is that it is secreted by the Liver and stored in the gall bladder(option - d)

• `Bile is a yellowish fluid generated by the liver that helps in the emulsification and digestion of fats.
• Bile is stored in the gall bladder and released in the duodenum(small intestine) through the common bile duct.
• It consists of bile salts, bilirubin, biliverdin, etc.
• Bile salts play a major role as they are hydrophobic on one side and hydrophilic on the other, therefore their hydrophobic side covers the lipids and the hydrophilic site faces the outer environment leading to the formation of micelles (called emulsification) which aids the action of pancreatic lipase for digestion of lipids.
