Question

From the given list, find out the constituents of bile juice.

(a) Phospholipids
(b) Sodium bicarbonate
(c) Lipases
(d) Cholesterol
(e) Degradation products of haemoglobin
(f) Water

• A. (a), (c), (d) & (f) only
• B. (c), (e) & (f) only
• C. (b), (d) & (e) only
• D. (a), (b). (d), (e) & (f)

Answer 1

The correct option is D (a), (b). (d), (e) & (f)

The components of bile are:

1. Water.
   
2. Cholesterol.
   
3. Lecithin (a phospholipid)
   
4. Bile pigments (bilirubin & biliverdin)
   
5. Bile salts and bile acids (sodium glycocholate & sodium taurocholate)
   
6. Small amounts of copper and other excreted metals.

Lipase is the digestive enzyme needed to digest fat. Lipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes lipids, the ester bonds in triglycerides, to form fatty acids and glycerol. ... The function of bile is to bring ingested fats into emulsion to facilitate the work of the lipases.

So the correct option is '(a), (b). (d), (e) & (f)'.
