∙ 7y agoBile is a fluid produce in liver and stored in gallblader that help digest food.
Bile is a yellow (not greenish) fluid secreted by the pancreas (not liver) and stored in the gall-bladder. When fatty foods move from the stomach into the small intestine, the gall bladder releases bile into the small intestine to help digest the food by emulsifying the fats. if you get "the runs", many times you may experience bile (it burns unless you wash it away).

∙ 14y agoBile is secreted by the liver to emulsify fat. It is released in response to a lipid-laden meal to aid in absorption. Without emulsification, the large lipid-globules will not be absorbed. Bile is the equivalent to the dish washing soap. Only upon emulsification by bile/soap of the greasy plates can you effectively remove the lipid layer that is deposited. Once the fat is emulsified the smaller form of the fatty acids can be readily absorbed.

∙ 12y agoIt is produced in the liver but is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. It is released from the gallbladder in response to fats entering the duodenum of the small intestine. It emulsifies fats, i.e. breaks them into little droplets, to provide more surface area for the pancreatic enzymes to act on them.

∙ 6y agoYour liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder until it's triggered by eating foods that contain fat. Bile is released into the small intestine where it works like a detergent to emulsify the fats into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for pancreatic lipase to break them down further.

∙ 7y agoBile is a yellow-green fluid which contains minerals, bile acids, cholesterol, bile pigments, phospholipids, and neutral fats. It is secreted daily from the liver and stored in the gallbladder.

∙ 8y agoBile, a green fluid that aids digestion, is secreted by the liver and carried to the gallbladder. From there it's carried by a tube called the bile duct into the intestine

What protein based substance enhances digestion by making chemical reactions more likely to happen?
Ensymes
Which organ of the body is responsible for removing bile?
Bile is produced in liver, stored in gallbladder and excreted into small intestine through the bile duct to aid lipid digestion. Bile pigment is a component of bile.
Where in humans does most chemical digestion occurs?
most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum
What happens in chemical digestion?
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
Is digestion of a candy bar a physical change or chemical change?
Chemical property
Is the bile duct involved directly or indirectly in mechanical or chemical digestion?
Indirectly in chemical digestion by the release of stored bile into the small intestine. The bile then emulsfies fats.
Is bile used for chemical or mechanical digestion?
it is use for chemical digestion as it emulsifies fats.
A chemical secreted by liver that helps in digestion?
Bile.
Is gall bladder mechanical digestion or chemical digestion?
While the gallbladder may appear to be functioning in chemical digestion because it produces a chemical, in reality this chemical functions as part of mechanical digestion. Bile produced by the gallbladder emulsifies fats. This means that it breaks the fat particles into smaller particles without changing their chemical nature.
What chemical is secreted by the liver and how does it help with digestion?
This substance is called bile.
What kind of digestion occurs in the Gallbladder?
The gallbladder stores and releases bile, which helps break down fats.
Which chemical is produced in the gallbladder to assist in the digestion of fat?
Bile. Bile is produced in liver and stored in gall bladder.
Is the small intestines chemical or mechanical?
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
Chemical that breaks down fats into small droplets and helps neutralize stomach acids?
Bile juice does the digestion or emulsification of fats.
How does bile help in the digestion of plants?
It doesn't, bile is useful in the digestion of fats.
What contributes to chemical digestion?
Enzymes contribute to chemical digestion. They are produced by the pancreas and together with bile, chemically change food into molecules so that it can be absorbed easily by the body.
Which organ in the digestive system is not involved in chemical or mechanical digestion?
small intestine
