The Most Essential Part of Bile Is

Question

The most essential part of bile is:
A)bile salts.
B)bile pigments.
C)cholesterol.
D)bilirubin.

Accepted Answer

Bile salts are essential for the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. They emulsify fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets which allows enzymes to further break them down and make them available for absorption. Bile pigments (including bilirubin) and cholesterol are also present in bile, but they are not as crucial for digestion and absorption as bile salts.
