Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile emulsifies dietary fats to increase their surface area for action of digestive enzymes.Therefore,without bile,digestion of fat would occur more slowly.Because of mixing and churning of chyle with digestive secretions and enzymes in the small intestine through peristalsis and segmentation,digestion would still occur,but more slowly.
