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

Biology

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

"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.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The label on a bag of salt-free pretzels indicates that their chips are "low-fat." this means the pretzels provide 3 gram(s) of fat or less per serving.

Low-fat diets are diets in which the fats are reduced. Low-fat diets are produced in order to prevent diseases such as obesity and heart diseases. Food manufacturers usually use nutrient claims such as '‘low fat’' to indicate the nutritional value of their products. A ‘low fat’ food contains not more than 3g of fat per 100g of food  (for solids) and not more than 1.5g fat per 100g (for liquids).
