Bile salts prepare lipids for digestion by what process?
Emulsification
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.
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 secretion does the liver produce that emulsifies lipids?
Bile
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 has lipids in them?
lipids are fats found in food. some foods that contain lipids are cheese, cakes, butter, chips etc. they are broken down by pancreatic lipases in the small intestine and also bile salts which help to emulsify the fat. (bile salts act as a kind of detergent breaking the fats up into tiny droplets.)
Bile salts are responsible for the digestion and absorption of?
Bile is produced in the liver and helps to digest fat in the human body. Once produced, bile is stored in the gallbladder and is discharged into the duodenum when a person eats.
What substance breaks up the fat particles?
Bile salts breaks up large fat droplet into smaller ones. Called chylomicron.
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.
What bile salts are in bile?
Bile contain many types of salts, generally sodium salts of steroid acids. See the link below.
Which organ secrets bile salts?
liver secrets bile salts from cholesterol
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
