What part of the body contains bile, an enzyme that helps break down lipids?

2 answers:

5 0

"The liver produces bile which emulsifies fats i.e. breaks them down into small droplets for a larger surface area. This will increase the rate at which the fat is digested by lipase. Bile also neutralizes the acid produced by the stomach to provide ideal alkaline conditions for enzymes in the small intestine."

Answer:

Bile juice is produced in liver, the largest gland of our body.

Explanation:

Bile juice contains bile salts and bile pigments. Bile salts help in emulsification of large fat globules. Emulsification is a process in which large fat globules are made into smaller fat globules on which lipase enzyme can act. Lipase is the actual enzyme which helps in fat digestion. It is produced by pancreas. But lipase can act on only emulsified fat molecules. Bile pigments are bilirubin and biliverdin which are responsible for the greenish yellow color of bile . One more important point is though bile is produced by liver, it is stored in gall bladder.

Answer: What is expected to happen is that the secondary immune system acts immediately against the virus.

Explanation:

When a virus first enters our body, in order to defend itself, the body must first recognize what the antigen is in order to fight it through antibodies. Once it does it will keep a memory of it that it can use if this virus enters the body again. This will be done through the secondary immune system.

As the body already recognizes the antigen, it knows how to fight it immediately, generating a thousand times the amount of antibodies generated the first time.

Thanks to its memory cells, the virus will remain much less time in the body.
