What is the main function of bile juice?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To break fats into small droplets
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Its bile salts emulsify fats, meaning they divide large fat globules into many small droplets. This does not chemically digest fat, but it increases the surface area available to lipase, making fat digestion more efficient. Bile does not make proteins, transport oxygen or form urine, so option A is correct.
