How Bile Digests Fat: A Physical Change Explained

Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It helps digest fats by breaking them down into smaller droplets. This process is called emulsification. Emulsification does not change the chemical composition of the fat, it only changes its physical form.
