Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile is a digestive juice that is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It is released into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) when food enters from the stomach. Bile helps to emulsify fats, which means that it breaks them down into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for lipases (enzymes that break down fats) to access and digest the fat molecules. Therefore, bile acts on fat in the duodenum.
