Answer:

In the small intestine, digestion is based on two main juices which are the pancreatic juice and the bile secreted by the gallbladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both substances are capable of degrading complex substances, the bile mainly emulsifies fats, promoting the formation of chylomicron, and the pancreatic juices complex molecules like proteins, where they are unfolded and absorbed in the form of amino acids.
