Answer
- Liver secretes bile Bile is stored in the gall bladder. The functions of bile are:
- Bile juice breaks the complex fat molecules into simpler ones which helps the enzymes to act easily and the process of digestion becomes simpler.
- It also makes the acidic food coming from stomach alkaline so that the pancreatic enzymes can act easily on it.
- Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme. Trypsin has a key role in the small intestine. In the small intestine, the enzyme breaks down into proteins, and continues the process of digestion that began in the stomach.
