Solution

Bile:

  1. It is a dark-green-to-yellowish-brown color digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
  2. Its primary purpose is to convert dietary lipids into fatty acids, which are then absorbed into the intestine.

Cholecystokinin ( CCK):

  1. It's a peptide hormone produced by the gastrointestinal system.
  2. CCK promotes the release of bile juice by acting on the gall bladder.
