Is pancreatic lipase an emulsifier?
No, pancreatic lipase is not an emulsifier, but an enzyme that digests lipids. To have an optimal digestion, it needs a colipase (also pancreatic) + previous emulsification of the lipids by mecanical and chemical (biliary salts) mecanisms. Lipase transforms TG into MG and free fats, which are then absorbed by the enterocytes.
Process of breaking up large fat globules?
Emulsification.
What would happen to a person who did not have lipids?
Deficiency of lipids is a defect in metabolism in the body which can lead to severe heart diseases.
What substance is most associated to emulsification?
trypsin
Does emulsification allow enzymes to digest fat quicker?
no
Term for break down of lipids?
emulsification
Bile salts prepare lipids for digestion by what process?
Emulsification
What does the liver do in your digestion system?
The liver produces bile for the emulsification of lipids (break down the fats).
Is bile necessary for emulsification?
Yes, bile plays a vital role in emulsifying lipids in the duodenum.
Where in the digestive system will emulsification happen?
small intestine
What would happen emulsification occurred less efficiently?
it would be for efficient
Which terms are related to digestion?
mastication, chewing, ballus, swallowing, drinking, enzymes, denaturing proteins, bile, emulsification of lipids, delineation of starch, roughage, tapeworms.
How pancreatic juice acts on lipids?
Into the duodenum, the first short part of the small intestine.
What thing help in emulsification of fats?
In the small intestine of digestive system the lipids are emulsified by the action of bile from liver.

What is the process of breaking lipids into smaller molecules?
To put it short, Digestion. The lipids need to go through emulsification before being digested. The gall bladder stores bile for emulsifying fats prior to digestion.
