Q

Bile is a product of the liver. Describe and Explain it’s time in digestion. (4 marks)

A

Bile is alkaline so it neutralises the stomach acid and makes conditions in the small intestine alkaline. The enzymes of the small intestine work best in these alkaline conditions. It also emulsifies fats/breaks down fat into tiny droplets. This gives a bigger surface area of fat for the enzyme lipase to work on, making digestion faster.
