Q. The special characterstic of bile juice is that it

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Bile is a non-enzymatic digestive juice produced by the liver. Bile released in the duodenum consists of bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol and phospholipids. The function of emulsification of fats, i.e., breaking of large fat globules into smaller fat globules is performed by the action of bile salts (sodium glycocholate, sodium taurocholate) and bile acids (taurocholic acid and glycocholic acid).
Bile pigments like bilirubin and biliverdin perform the function of giving colour to stool and urine. Bile juice does not contain any enzyme. It is also responsible for the activation of lipases.
