उत्तर
- Liver: It produces a green-yellow fluid called the bile which emulsifies fats making it easy to be digested. The bile also contains sodium bicarbonate which neutralises the acid of food coming from the stomach and makes it alkaline.
- Pancreas: It produces the digestive juice called the pancreatic juice which acts on carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and convert them into simpler units called glucose, amino acids and fatty acids respectively
