Do bile salts produce lipids?
No, bile salts emulsify lipids to aid in their digestion.
Does bile breaks down fat?
No bile does not break down fat. Bile salts only aid in digestion of lipids(fats) by emulsifying them. Pancreatic lipase breaks down the lipids.
What kind of salt is a type of lipid?
Lipids are not salts.
Is pancreatic lipase an emulsifier?
No, pancreatic lipase is not an emulsifier, but an enzyme that digests lipids. To have an optimal digestion, it needs a colipase (also pancreatic) + previous emulsification of the lipids by mecanical and chemical (biliary salts) mecanisms. Lipase transforms TG into MG and free fats, which are then absorbed by the enterocytes.
What is essential for the digestion of fats?
Bile Salts.
What is the importance of bile salts in digestion?
the bile converts larger molecules of fat into emulsified fat by a process called emulsification
Is bile the same as bile salts?
no, bile is different from bile salt.bile is the secretion of the liver consisting of water, bile salt,bile pigment,cholestorol,lecithin and several ion it emulsifies lipids prior to their digestion.
What does the bile do when it gets to the duodenum?
Bile aids in the chemical digestion of fat. The lipids and salts found in bile help break fats into smaller pieces while enzymes can more easily break down fat molecules.
How do you prepare salts chemically?
Salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases.
What are liver salts?
Liver Salts are medicines to cure the problem in digestion of food. they are also known as Indigestion powder.
The activity of lipase is greater with the addition of bile salts?
Yes, because the bile salts emulsify the lipids increasing their contact with the lipase.
Why is bile important?
bile salts in bile speed up fat digestion
