Bile comes from gall bladder. It contains the bile salts. These salts are responsible for emulsification of the fat in your food. that means very fine fat globules are formed. this helps to increase the surface area of the fat. That helps the fat splitting enzyme to brake the fat molecule into three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.

True or false During emulsification bile salts break large fat globules into smaller fat droplets?
true
What breaks down fats into globules?
Bile is the chemical which breaks up large fat globules into smaller droplets. It doesn't digest the lipid molecules; it just increases the surface area to aid enzymes in the small intestine.
What is bile responsible for?
Bile is secretory as well as excretory product of liver. It secretes bile salts and excretes bile pigments. Bile salts (Sodium glaucocolate and Sodium taurocholate.) are responsible for emulsification of fats (makes very small droplets of fat.) witch greatly increase the surface area of fat and hasten action of pancreatic lipase on it.
What prepares fats for digestion in the small intestine?
Fat is digested in small intestine. As Fat does not mix with water, large Fat globules are there and such they can not be digested by the pancreatic enzyme called 'Lipase' in short time. For that 'Nature' has evolved a very good solution. Bile salts are released by gall bladder under hormone released, called as 'Cholecystokinin'. Bile contains bile pigments to be excreted in the intestine and bile salts 1) Sodium taurocholate and 2) Sodiumglaucocolate. Both of them reduces the surfacetensionin the intestine. So that Fat becomes split into very small size particles called as 'chylomicron'. This increases the surface area of the fat globules to very large extent. There by digestion of Fat becomes much easy. In the distal part of intestine bile salts are reabsorbed to be released for next digestion. This is called as 'enter o- hepatic' circulation.
Is bile a chemical compound?
No, bile is not a single compound; it is a solution mostly of water, salts, mucus, pigments, and lipids.
A nonenzyme substance that causes fat to be dispersed into smaller globules?
Bile is the non-enzyme substance that causes fat to be dispersed into smaller globules. Bile is a yellow-green liquid that is produced by the liver.
Does bile breakdown globules of fat into tiny droplets?
compresses and emulsifies (breaks down) it.
True or false During emulsification bile salts break large fat globules into smaller fat droplets?
true
How bile salt acts as in emulsifying agent?
Bile salts break down fat globules in the small intestines to allow a more soluble product for easier absorption.
What breaks down fats into globules?
Bile is the chemical which breaks up large fat globules into smaller droplets. It doesn't digest the lipid molecules; it just increases the surface area to aid enzymes in the small intestine.
What organ produce bile to break down fats so they can be absorbed and used by the body?
Liver produces bile. Bile contains bile salts and bile pigments. You have sodium taurocholate and sodium glychocolate as bile salts. These salts reduce the surface tension of the fat globules. Very small particles of the fat are formed. This greatly increase the surface area of the fat. this gives an opportunity to the enzyme to act on the fat granules. Fat is split into fatty acid and glycerol. These products are absorbed through the wall of the intestine.
The process of breaking down large droplets of fat into small droplets of fat is called?
Homogenisation Right answer is Bile Emulsification that causes breakdown of f at globules.
What is emusilfication means?
Emulsification is the process of breaking down large fat globules into smaller and uniform particles. The process is accomplished by bile acids in the small intestine.
What is bile responsible for?
Bile is secretory as well as excretory product of liver. It secretes bile salts and excretes bile pigments. Bile salts (Sodium glaucocolate and Sodium taurocholate.) are responsible for emulsification of fats (makes very small droplets of fat.) witch greatly increase the surface area of fat and hasten action of pancreatic lipase on it.
What is fat globules in stool?
It is droplets of fat contained in the stool. A fecal fat test shows how many fat globules are in the stool.
Is fat globules in stool dangerous?
no
Why do people with gallstones experience problems digesting certain food?
When you eat, your gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile where it begins to help break down the fat in your food. The person might face problem in digesting fat globules...
