“Bile juice does not contain any enzyme, yet it has important roles in digestion.” Justify the statement.

Bile juice does not contain enzymes, but it plays vital roles in digestion:

1. Emulsifies fats – Bile salts break large fat globules into smaller ones, helping lipase work more effectively.
2. Neutralizes stomach acid – Its alkalinity creates the right pH for enzymes in the small intestine.
3. Helps absorb fats and vitamins – It aids in absorbing fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

So, even without enzymes, bile is essential for fat digestion and absorption.
