What else can I help you with?
What secretion does the liver produce that emulsifies lipids?
The liver produces bile, which contains bile salts. Bile salts emulsify lipids by breaking them down into smaller droplets, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
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.
Bile salts prepare lipids for digestion by what process?
Emulsification
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.
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 kind of nutritional substance is broken down by bile?
Bile breaks down fats (lipids) in the digestive system. It helps emulsify fats into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption in the intestines.
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 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 is a bile salt?
Bile salts are compounds produced in the liver from cholesterol and stored in the gallbladder. They help in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying lipids in the small intestine to aid in their breakdown by enzymes. Bile salts also play a role in the elimination of waste and toxins from the body.
What bile salts are in bile?
The main bile salts in bile are cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, which are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. These bile salts help emulsify fats in the digestive system, aiding in their breakdown and absorption.
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).
What sort of chemical is the bile?
Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
