Single correct option

Bile juice helps in digestion mainly by
  1. A. emulsifying fats
  2. B. digesting proteins
  3. C. breaking down starch
  4. D. digesting cellulose
Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) emulsifying fats

Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It contains salts that break large fat globules into tiny droplets (emulsification), increasing the surface area for lipase. Bile has no enzymes, so it does not digest proteins or starch directly.
