Bile serves two functions: to neutralise chyme. This helps digestion, as it provides an optimum pH for enzymes to act on the partially digested food. It also emulsifies fats, which too aids the enzymes.

∙ 12y agoChyme coming from stomach is acidic due to HCl .It is neutralized by 1 : pancreatic juice , 2 by intestinal juice and 3 by bile . All 3 juices contain basic salts to neutralize acidic chyme so that pancreatic enzymes may function properly in basic medium .

∙ 13y agoThe enzymes in the small intestine work best in alkalineconditions (low acidity), but the food is still very acidic after being in the stomach. A substance called bile neutralises the acid in the small intestine to provide the alkaline conditions needed for the enzymes to work best.
Hebah Al-shayyah
Bile salts and acids are transported in a fluid that contains water, sodium, chloride, and bicarbonates. This fluid is produced in the liver, and it serves to neutralize hydrochloric acid passed from the stomach into the small intestine.

Which part of body contains bile?

Which part of the body contains bile an enzyme that helps break down lipids?
Bile is made in the liver and secreted into the Small intestines to neutralize the acidity of the chyme leaving the stomach. When there is no food entering the small intestines Bile is stored in the Gallbladder until it is needed.
What base would you add to chyme?
The pancreas secretes bicarbonate (HCO3-) to the chyme in the duodenum to neutralize it.
What does chyme contain much of?
Chyme is made up of partly digested food, hydrochloric acid, and a range of enzymes. Once it enters the small intestine it is mixed with bile to neutralize the stomach acid. I think the best answer may be water; everything else varies depending on the original food.
What organ secretes sodium bicarbonate into the duodenum to neutralize chyme?
pancreas!
What are the juices present in small intestine?
pancreatic juice chyme bile
When highly acidic chyme arrives in the duodenum which substance will neutralize the acidity?
bicarbonate
What is a bile salt?
A bile salt is the sodium of a bile acid, produced by the bile to neutralize the products leaving the stomach and to emulsify fatty material in it.
What does chyme contain much of that's absorbed in the large intestine?
Chyme is made up of partly digested food, hydrochloric acid, and a range of enzymes. Once it enters the small intestine it is mixed with bile to neutralize the stomach acid. I think the best answer may be water; everything else varies depending on the original food.
