bile salts emulsify fats and solubilize them ,thus the are absorbed.
Bile salt is completely necessary for digestion in the body. They help to break down the fat in our body that otherwise could not be digested. The bile salts help to break down the fat molecules into smaller parts, and they are then easily digestible by the small and large intestine.
After the bile salts are done doing their job, they are returned back to the liver and recycled, and are used again when they are needed. Bile salts are basically sodium based salts that are all derived from the liver.

Do bile salts produce lipids?
No, bile salts emulsify lipids to aid in their digestion.
Why is bile important?
bile salts in bile speed up fat digestion
What is essential for the digestion of fats?
Bile Salts.
What kind of nutritional substance is broken down by bile?
The answer is bile salts. You have sodium taurocholate and sodium glaucocholate as bile salts. They do emulsification of the fat. That helps in fat digestion.
What emulsifies fats to make digestion easier that is produced by the liver?
bile salts
Bile salts prepare lipids for digestion by what process?
Emulsification
What type of digestion occurs in the gallbladder?
No digestion occurs in the gallbladder, but the gall bladder can produce a greenish liquid called gall/bile, and that gall/bile flows into your small intestine to help digest food there. To be more specific, bile salts aid in the digestion of fats in the small intestine.
How does bile help in the digestion of plants?
It doesn't, bile is useful in the digestion of fats.
What is the importance of bile salts in digestion?
the bile converts larger molecules of fat into emulsified fat by a process called emulsification
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.
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 is the role of taurine in lipid digestion?
It plays a role in the oxidation of cholesterol into bile salts in the liver. This allows the cholesterol in to be excreted out of the body by changing it into a water soluble form (bile salts).
