Why is emulsification of fats is necessary?
Emulsification of fats is necessary because a fat globule has large surface area for enzymes to act upon it. Emulsification reduces the surface area and then more enzymes can act upon it and thus can produce more energy.
Why must gallbladder release bile?
Bile contains bile slats that help in the process of emulsification of fats without which fats cannot be digested. emulsification of fats also increases the surface area of the fat malecules for lipase to act on.
Does fats act as a reserve energy source?

Lecithin prepares fats for hydrolysis by forming?
Lecithin prepares fats for hydrolysis by forming emulsions, which helps to disperse the fats into smaller droplets in water, increasing the surface area available for enzymes to act on. This process makes it easier for lipases to access and break down the fats into their component fatty acids and glycerol.
What do bile salts do to digest fat?
Bile salts do not digest fats. They cause the fats to become smaller and that increases the surface area so that enzymes in the digestive tract can act quickly.
The pancreas secretes enzymes that act upon what?

Does pizza contain trans fat?
Trans fats are unsaturated fats which have have same/simlar stucture to saturated fats therefore act as saturated fats. Trans fats are present in foods which contain vegetable fat which has been hydrograted partly to me soild. Pizzas can contain trans fats due to how the fat in the pizza base is made or trans fats naturally found in cheese. Trans fat levels should not go over 2g per person per day therefore having some trans fats is not too bad however you should limit the amount of trans fat you from.
