A. The Bile juice from the liver makes the food alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes to act. In addition, bile salts break down fats into smaller globules increasing the efficiency of enzyme action. If bile duct is obstructed, it can lead to improper digestion of fats.

B. Herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose to be digested. Meat is easier to digest, hence carnivores like tigers have a shorter small intestine.
