Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile emulsifies fats in the small intestine, which means it breaks down large fat droplets into smaller ones to increase the surface area for enzymes to work on, thus aiding in fat digestion. It is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, not the other way around, and it does not directly digest proteins, activate trypsin, or activate the pancreas.
