Why does bile allow lipase to digest fats more effectively?

Answer 1

Bile works by emulsifying fats - which means it distributes them throughout the watery content of the intestines.

This results in large fat globules being separated into millions of small fatty droplets.

This means that the enzymes which break down fats have a larger surface area to work on

Answer 2

Bile is a natural "soap." It breaks up and surrounds the oil, forming little droplets. The droplets can be assimilated without being digested. So you body doesn't have to break down fats into not-fat parts; it can use the oils as constructed. This is a more efficient way to get fats (oils) into the body.

Answer 3

Fat is said to be hydrophobic as in it doesn't like water. Kind of how oil and water don't mix. When fat in the duodenum of the small intestine is surrounded by a watery environment what it does is tend to cluster together in a large-ish fat glob. When this happens the enzymes that break down the fat can only work on the outer surface of this fat glob. Bile breaks up, or emulsifies, fats from one big glob to tiny globules so the fat digesting enzymes called lipases can act on all the surfaces of the fat instead of just the outer surface making the lipases more efficient.

Answer 4

beacuse the work of the lipase is to make the complex fats to the simplier ones therefore the intestinal lipase finally turns the fats to fatty acids and glycerol therefore their action become more efficient as to work over simplier and easy compounds are much more easier then the complex ones

Answer 5

Bile allows lipase to digest fats more effectively as bile increases the surface area of the fat. This is because bile emulsifies (makes into) fat.

Hope this helps :)
