what substance is secreted by the gallbladder to emulsify fats?
mucus
digestive enzymes
pepsinogen
bile
Brief Explanations
The gallbladder stores and releases bile. Bile is the substance that emulsifies fats, breaking them into smaller droplets to increase the surface - area for digestive enzymes to act upon. Mucus protects the lining of organs, digestive enzymes break down nutrients, and pepsinogen is an inactive precursor of pepsin in the stomach.
