What else can I help you with?
Is bile a physical or chemical reaction?
The process of bile is a physical one because it does not contain any enzymes that breaks down any fats. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down fats but bile is only an emulsifier, which is a physical process, that combines bile with the fats.
What protein based substance enhances digestion by making chemical reactions more likely to happen?
Ensymes
Is bile a hormone?
No, bile is not a hormone. Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body.
Organ responsible for chemical digestion and absorbtion of food?
The small intestine is the organ responsible for both chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. Enzymes and bile break down the food, while nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine's lining into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
What chemical does the liver producewhich emulsifies fat?
The liver produces bile, which contains bile salts that emulsify fats. Emulsification breaks down large fat globules into smaller droplets, increasing the surface area for enzymes to act on during digestion. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine when fatty food is consumed. This process is essential for the efficient digestion and absorption of dietary fats.
Is the bile duct involved directly or indirectly in mechanical or chemical digestion?
Indirectly in chemical digestion by the release of stored bile into the small intestine. The bile then emulsfies fats.
Is bile used for chemical or mechanical digestion?
it is use for chemical digestion as it emulsifies fats.
A chemical secreted by liver that helps in digestion?
Bile.
Is gall bladder mechanical digestion or chemical digestion?
While the gallbladder may appear to be functioning in chemical digestion because it produces a chemical, in reality this chemical functions as part of mechanical digestion. Bile produced by the gallbladder emulsifies fats. This means that it breaks the fat particles into smaller particles without changing their chemical nature.
What chemical is secreted by the liver and how does it help with digestion?
This substance is called bile.
Which chemical is produced in the gallbladder to assist in the digestion of fat?
Bile. Bile is produced in liver and stored in gall bladder.
What kind of digestion occurs in the Gallbladder?
The gallbladder stores and releases bile, which helps break down fats.
Is the small intestines chemical or mechanical?
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
Chemical that breaks down fats into small droplets and helps neutralize stomach acids?
Bile juice does the digestion or emulsification of fats.
How does bile help in the digestion of plants?
It doesn't, bile is useful in the digestion of fats.
What contributes to chemical digestion?
Enzymes contribute to chemical digestion. They are produced by the pancreas and together with bile, chemically change food into molecules so that it can be absorbed easily by the body.
Why is bile important?
bile salts in bile speed up fat digestion
