(b) What is trypsin ? What is its function ?
A)The liver is the organ that secretes bile and it is stored in the gallbladder.
The function of bile: Bile contains bile acids, which are critical for digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. Many waste products, including bilirubin, are eliminated from the body by secretion into bile and elimination in faeces.
B)Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, created in the body, which breaks down proteins. Trypsin is produced in the pancreas, serving a vital role in digestion by breaking down proteins into smaller molecules the body can use. It is transported from the pancreas to the small intestine where its function is optimized by the organ's slightly alkaline environment.
