Dear student.
Please find the solution below.
Bile is a fluid, dark green to yellowish brown in colour. It is produced by liver and stored in gall bladder. It is involved in the digestion of lipids in the intestine. Bile consists of 92% water, 6% bile salts, 0.3% bilirubin, 0.9-2.4% fats which includes cholesterol, fatty acids, lecithin and small amount of inorganic salts.
Two important bile pigments are:
1. Bilirubin
2. Biliverdin
Gall bladder stores the excess bile juice that is released by the liver.
