Bile salts are important for digestion of
Fat
The correct answer is Fat.
Bile salts (sodium glycocholate and taurocholate), made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder, emulsify large fat globules into tiny droplets, greatly increasing the surface area for pancreatic lipase. They also form micelles that carry fatty acids, monoglycerides and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) to the intestinal cells for absorption.
Bile contains no digestive enzymes and plays no direct role in protein, carbohydrate or iron digestion.
Short trick: Bile = detergent for fat: emulsify → lipase acts.
