UPPSC 2017

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Fat

The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver.

Bile salts emulsify fats into tiny droplets, aiding their digestion and absorption in the duodenum.

Gallstones block bile release, so fat digestion is the function chiefly affected.
