A)
B)
The gallbladder holds bile produced in the liver until it is needed for
digesting fatty foods in the duodenum of the small intestine.
The gall bladder releases trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase,
enzymes that break proteins down into their amino acid subunits.
The gall bladder receives partially digested food, known as chyme, from
the stomach and plays a vital role in the chemical digestion of chyme
The gall bladder plays an active role in the process of digestion through
the production of bile. Bile travels through the bile ducts and is released
into the duodenum where it emulsifies fat.

Answer 1

The gallbladder stored and concentrates bile from the liver. The bile is then released into the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum), where it helps your body to break down and absorb fats from food.
