उत्तर
Bile is a digestive fluid that primarily emulsifies fats, breaking them into tiny droplets so they can be digested and absorbed. It also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), neutralizes stomach acid in the small intestine, and excretes waste products like bilirubin and excess cholesterol.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow it.
| Bile juice is stored in a sac called, gall bladder, located near its organ of secretion, liver. The gall bladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules. Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets into smaller droplets. These are then easily digested by the enzymes released from the pancreas. |
