Question

Even though the liver has no digestive enzymes, it plays an important role in digestion. Explain.

Hint:

Liver’s bile is essential for fat digestion even without enzymes—it breaks down fats mechanically.

Answer 1

Although the liver does not secrete any enzyme, it secretes bile juice, which:
Emulsifies fats: Breaks large fat globules into smaller ones for enzyme action.
Neutralizes acidic food: Makes chyme from the stomach alkaline for enzyme action in the small intestine.
