Answer 1

The liver role in lipid digestion is the PRODUCTION OF BILE, A SOAPY COMPOUND THAT EMULSIFIES LIPIDS. Bile is a digestive juice that is produced by the liver. In humans, lipids are digested and absorbed at the small intestines. Bile which contains bile acids emulsify lipids at the small intestines so that the lipids can be acted upon by the enzyme pancreatic lipase.
