Answer 1

The liver produces and excretes bile, breaks down toxic substances, and stores various substances.

Step-by-step explanation:

The liver's functions

• Produces and excretes bile: Bile, a greenish liquid, is required for emulsifying fats. Some of the bile is stored in the gall bladder, while the rest drains directly into the duodenum.
• Breaks down toxic substances: The liver processes waste products and toxic substances, including drugs and alcohol, into less toxic forms that can be excreted.
• Stores substances: The liver stores many substances, including glycogen, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and lipids
