Hey Joy,

We know that the liver secretes bile to the intestines, which contains cholesterol-based salts needed for the digestion of fats in the diet. We also know that the liver secretes iron and glucose to the blood.

My problem is "their response to acid addition". What do you mean acid addition? Is this a lab where you added acid to a medium? You need to be a little more specific Undecided
