DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bile begins the chemical digestion of ____
A
Carbohydrate
B
Fats
C
Proteins
D
Food
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver releases bile, which contains lecithin, bile salts, and emulsifiers that help further break down fats. Bile grabs onto the fats, and the emulsifiers increase their surface area, making them easier for digestive enzymes to act on. Following this, enzymes break apart fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bile liquid is created in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile emulsifies (breaks into small particles) lipids (fats), which aids in the mechanical digestion of fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fats are digested into fatty acids and glycerol by an enzyme called lipase . Bile juice is secreted by the liver which helps in the emulsification of fat. Emulsification is a process that breaks down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on these smaller fats.
