Explanation:
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: -The bile helps in breaking down the fatty substances or lipid molecules present in the food product. The breakdown of fatty substances or lipids produces fatty acids and glycerol that the small intestine can absorb.
Detailed explanation-3: -The gallbladder stores bile, a thick liquid that’s produced by the liver to help us digest fat. When we eat, the gallbladder’s thin, muscular lining squeezes bile into the small intestine through the main bile duct. The more fat we eat, the more bile the gallbladder injects into the digestive tract.
