If you’re on a fat-free diet, is there a role for the liver in digestion?

A. No role, bile secreted from the liver is only needed for fat digestion

B. The liver will convert amino acids into glucose & fat

C. Bile contains enzymes that process some carbohydrates

D. None of the above

__________________

I know there is no such thing as a “fat-free” diet, but this is a hypothetical situation.

For A, I’m unsure if there is another role instead of this.

For B, this is true but is it considered a metabolic function and not a means of digestion (mechanical & chemical breakdown of food)? Gluconeogenesis has no direct role in digestion since it is a separate metabolic function, correct?

For C, I cannot find evidence to support this. Is this true?

Can you please explains what might be the answer and your reasoning for why it is not the other answer choices? Thank you

Solution

Explanation:

A. It is wrong statement because liver has many other vital role other than fat digestion. It helps in enzyme activation, storage of glycogen, vitamin and mineral, metabolism of fat,protein and carbohydrates.

B. It is a wrong statement because liver will not convert amino acid to fat or glucose. Rather protein gets metabolised to aminiacid rather than fat or glucose.

C. Bile doesnot contain enzyme.

D none of these. Is the correct answer.
