Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Bile juice emulsifies fats and breaks them down into small particles. This is a detergent-like action of bile that helps the body to absorb the broken-down fat products in the gut. In connection with this, bile salts bind with lipids to form micelles. This is then absorbed through the intestinal mucosa.
