Bile is made in the liver, and then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat.

In one test tube it contains milk and in the other test tube it contains sunflower oil. The test for proteins and lipids will be done for each solution and then a conclusion can be deduced from these results. To test for the proteins place 2cm³ of the test solution into a test tube and then add five drops of the Biuret solution to it. It

biological membranes, act as vitamins and hormones, provide energy storage (triaculglycerols). Lipids are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Lipids can exist as fats, oils and waxes. Fat and oils are similar in structure as they are triglycerides, however, they physically differ at room temperature fats are solid and oils liquid. Their differences in property are what help contribute to its significance in life. A triglyceride consists of fatty acid chains which are attached
