Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although it does not contain any digestive enzymes, it plays an important role in the digestion of fats. Bile juice has bile pigments such as bilirubin and biliverdin. These pigments break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bile is a sticky, yellow-green digestive fluid made by the liver. Its main job is to break down fats into fatty acids so that they can be absorbed by your body through the digestive tract. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is sometimes also called gall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through the process of emulsification, bile acids break down large lipid droplets into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for digestive enzymes. Emulsification is possible due to the amphipathic property of bile salts [1].
