Bile does NOT digest fats. It is NOT an enzyme, therefore, it cannot break down lipid molecules into smaller nutrients. What bile does is it HELPS enzyms to digest fats by emulsifying the fat molecules. This means the surface area is increased, thus enuring a more efficient and quicker digestion of the lipid molecules. This process takes place at the top of the small intestine, in the duodenum, as this is where bile is secreted from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and onto the food.

What Emulsification agent helps to digest fat?
bile is the emulsification agent that helps to digest fats.
What bile digest?
Fats
Which organ is bile produced?
The liver produces bile. The bile is then stored in the gallbladder. Bile is then used to digest lipids in the small intestine
What is a liquid producuced by the liver that helps digest fats?
Bile
A liquid produced by the liver that helps digest fats?
bile
What does lipase digest?
bile from the liver helps digest lipids in the small intestines.
Does bile neutralize stomach acid?
No. Bile is released to digest and breakdown clumps of fat to be absorbed by the small intestine.
Storage sac that holds the bile that is produced in the liver?
The gallbladder produces and stores bile. It releases bile to help digest food.
What do bile salts do to digest fat?
Bile salts do not digest fats. They cause the fats to become smaller and that increases the surface area so that enzymes in the digestive tract can act quickly.
Does the small intestine digest fat?
Yes, the gallbladder and liver secrete bile into the small intestine to digest fats.
What is the function of the gallbladder in a fetal pig?
It stores and releases bile, which helps digest fats
Bile salts are responsible for the digestion and absorption of?
Bile is produced in the liver and helps to digest fat in the human body. Once produced, bile is stored in the gallbladder and is discharged into the duodenum when a person eats.
