==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Bile]] is a green fluid produced by the [[liver]] that helps the [[digestion]] of [[lipid]]s.
===About Bile===
: [[Bile]] is [[alkali|alkaline]] which allows it to [[Neutralise (Chemistry)|neutralise]] [[Stomach Acid|stomach acid]] to provide the [[optimum]] conditions for the [[enzyme]] [[lipase]] to [[digestion|digest]] [[lipid]]s.
: [[Bile]] is passed down the [[Bile Duct|bile duct]] into the [[Small Intestine]] where it is used to [[Emulsification|emulsify]] [[lipid]]s which increases their surface area making them easier to [[Chemical Digestion|chemically digest]].
