What is the chemical action of the liver?
bile is produced by the liver to help break down fats
What does the bile do when it gets to the duodenum?
Bile aids in the chemical digestion of fat. The lipids and salts found in bile help break fats into smaller pieces while enzymes can more easily break down fat molecules.

What does bile digest?
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.

Why must gallbladder release bile?
Bile contains bile slats that help in the process of emulsification of fats without which fats cannot be digested. emulsification of fats also increases the surface area of the fat malecules for lipase to act on.
