Bile: is produced in the liver and
stored in the gall bladder
Enzymes work best in alkaline
conditions: food is acidic from being in the stomach. Bile is alkaline so when
it is released into the small intestine it allows the enzymes to work
(neutralizes stomach acid) Bile also emulsifies fat: give it a larger surface
are which means it easier for lipases to work
