Bile emulsifies the fat, breaking it down into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area of the fat particles and makes it more available for action by digestive enzymes.

Which of these digestive enzymes are active under strongly acidic conditions?
We need more information as to which enzymes you are asking about.
What substance helps suspend fat in a watery digestive mixture making fat more available to digestive enzymes It's either A. Bicarbonate B. Mucus C. Bile D. Pancreatic juices?
c. bile Bicarbonate is used to neutralize HCl Mucus is used as a protective layer of the mucosa of the digestive system pancreatic juices contain the enzymes that would digest the fat; it contains other enzymes as well.
Source of digestive enzymes that break down food?
There is more than one source of digestive enzymes that break down food. These include the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and the small intestine.
What are digestions?
Digestive enzymes supplement the diet and help the body with almost every function on a cellular level. The benefits of digestive enzymes include weight loss, better digestion and assimilation of nutrients, and more!
Is it good to take digestive enzymes supplements?
Enzymes play an important role in physiological processes throughout the body. Natural digestive enzymes, such as lipase, and protease, aid in breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Taking Digestive Enzyme Supplements can help to improve the digestive system. But if you take these supplements at the wrong time, they may be completely ineffective.

Which digestive enzymes are active at a site different from the site where they are produced?
Trypsin, lipase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, steapsin, elastases, carboxypeptidase, and nucleases. ~answered by FightingLucario
What is spit made of?
Spit, which more formally is called saliva, is mostly water, with some digestive enzymes in it.
Does the liver store digestive juices?
No, the liver does not store digestive juices. That would be the pancrease. HOWEVER, the liver does synthesize bile. This is not a digestive juice, but it does emulsify fat. Basically, this means that it breaks it down so that the surface area of the fact increases, exposing more of the fat to the enzymes. This will enable the enzymes to operate more efficiently. However, bile is not stored in the liver, it is only synthesized there. Bile is stored in the gallbladder.
What is the mechanical and chemical breaking up of fat into smaller particles that can more readily be acted upon by digestive enzymes?
Emulsification by bile breaks up the fat into smaller particles. This process increases the surface area that can be acted upon by digestive enzymes like lipase.
Give a reason why a piece of food is dissolved by digestive enzymes more rapidly if it is chewed first?
because the mouth has saliva glandand mix up with water, mucus and the enzymes amylase
Can herbal digestive enzymes cause side effects?
For me, yes! I tried taking a high quality digestive enzyme, and every time had hours of pain and cramping. I take probiotics and eat more raw foods instead.
