Bile is not considered an enzyme. Bile rather allows enzymes to interact more effectively with enzymes secreted by the pancrease. The way that bile does this is to help break fat into small droplets and surrounding these droplets. These droplets are called micelles. This provides increased total surface area of fat for pancreatic lipolytic enzymes to interact with. These primary enzymes that interact with the bile formed micelle are glycerol ester hydrolase (pancreatic lipase), cholesterol esterase, and phospholipase A2.
Bile is primary composed of the following: (1) bile acids, (2) bile pigments, (3) cholesterol, and (4) phospholipids.

Bile is not an enzyme. It breaks up oil droplets. it also neutralises stomach acids.

∙ 14y agobecause it does not break down things, it only makes fat globules smaller so that they are easier to digest.

∙ 13y agoNo it does not. It provides an alkaline medium for functioning of the pancreatic juice & aids in the process of digestion of lipids

What enzyme is present in infants but absent in adults?
bile juice
What enzyme is produced in the stomach?
specific-meaning it is only able to catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule.
Which fluid in the human body lacks digestive enzymes an where?
Bile is 85% water, 10% bile salts , 3% mucus and pigments, 1% fats, and 0.7% inorganic salts , thats mean bile is secretion which lack enzyme.
Which mechanism is important for the digestion of fat in foods?
bile in the small intestine emulsifies the fat for enzyme action
What enzyme breaks starch down into sugar?
Bile and Amylase are the two enzymes that break down starch into sugars.
What enzyme is present in bile juice?
No, there are no enzymes in bile.
What is the digestive enzyme of the intestine?
Bile
What is an emulsifier made by the liver from cholesterol and stored in the gallbladder?
Bile is a fat emulsifier that is made by the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. It is considered part of the mechanical digestion process of digestion.(Bile is NOT an enzyme)
Does the gallbladder produce or store enzymes?
Neither.The gallbladder will store bile, but bile is not an enzyme. Bile is produced by the liver.
What is human bile?
bile is an enzyme secreted from human liver,excess of liver toxification secretes more bile juice.
What enzyme in bile juice found?
There are no enzymes in bile to the best of my knowledge. It is primarily composed of bile acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, and phospholipids. If enzymes do exist in bile they are in minut concentrations and are unnecessary for its functioning. The primary purpose of bile is to emulsify fats. What that means is they increase the surface area of fats so that enzymes may work on them more effectively. These enzymes are secreted by the pancrease. drazx is the original author of this answer
How many enzyme does bile contain?
None :) (trick question)
What enzyme is present in infants but absent in adults?
bile juice
What are the lipid-digesting enzymes secreted from the pancreas?
amylase, pancreas , maltase, sucrase, lactase,bile hcl,
What enzyme digests triglycerides?
Lingual Lipase
Did the pancreatic extract hydrolyze fat in presence of bile?
The pancreatic extracts hydrolyze fat in presence of bile. The enzyme lipase in pancreas hydrolyzes fat when there are bile salts.
What a liver do?
It produces an enzyme (bile) that is passed along to the gall bladder for storage.
