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.
bile is the emulsification agent that helps to digest fats.
Fats
The liver produces bile. The bile is then stored in the gallbladder. Bile is then used to digest lipids in the small intestine

Bile
The gallbladder produces and stores bile. It releases bile to help digest food.
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.
Yes, the gallbladder and liver secrete bile into the small intestine to digest fats.
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.
This liquid is called "bile".
Yes! Bile is always being produced by the gall bladder it is used to digest proteins in your body.
There is no 6-letter word that stores bile. There is however the gallbladder. This organ is what secretes bile in order to digest fats in the small intestine.
