Question : Bile juice contains no digestive enzymes , yet it is important for digestion. Why ?

Answer»

Solution : Liver does not secrete digestive enzymes. It contains bile pigments BILIRUBIN and biliverdin which are the break down products of HAEMOGLOBIN of dead RBCs, bile salts, cholesterol and phospholipids. Bile helps in emulsification of FATS Bile salts reduce the SURFACE tension of fat droplets and break them into small globules. Bile also activates lipase to digest LIPIDS.
