Detailed explanation-1: -Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bile juice secreted by the liver is devoid of any digestive enzymes, but it helps in the digestion of fats. Fats are present as large globules and are insoluble in water. The bile juice breaks down the big fat globules into smaller globules. These are then easily digested by the enzymes released by the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -LIVER. The liver produces a digestive juice called bile. The gallbladder stores bile between meals.
