Process to break fat particles into smaller pieces?
emulsification. fats are emulsified by bile, this lowers the surface tension for enzyme lipase to act on it on Ph8.5 to produce fatty acids and glycerol.
Why must fat be emulsified?
The bile aids the digestion of fats by the process of emulsification. The importance of this process is that iy breaks down the large fat molecules, increasing the surface to ensure absorption for energy.
What is the purpose of a stool fat test?
Stool fats, also known as fecal fats, or fecal lipids, are fats that are excreted in the feces.
What is the chemical difference between oils and waxes?
Oils are fats which are liquid at room temperature, waxes are fats which are solid at room temperature. Both waxes and oils can be emulsified. Chemicaly waxes and oils consist of hydrocarbons or esters of fatty acids, they are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The difference in class is based on melting point and larger molecules tend to melt at higer temperatures and are more likely to be waxes, however side chains can lower melting points and hydrogen bonding can raise them. In summary the classification into oil or wax is due to the size of the hydrocarbon and its complexity.
What group of organic compounds is fat in?
Fats can be classified in several ways. They are usually called triglycerides as they are esters of glycerol, which is systematically known as propane-1,2,3-triol.
What substances cannot be absorbed directly into the blood hence merge into spherical complexes known as micelles?
Fats or lipids or triglycerides.
How are fats emulsified in the gastrointestinal tract?
By the Liver.
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 does steapsin do?
Steapsin acts on emulsified fats and convert them to fatty acids and glycerol.
What are emulsified fats?
Emulsified fats are those that are broken down into very tiny bits. It happens in the human body when we eat fatty foods. Bile made by the liver does a good job of it and the enzymes then act on them so they can be taken into the body. If the gall balder (stores bile) is removed, people with this then have a big problem and a really big 'problem' as most goes out as it came it.Another example is familiar to those who still wash dishes by hand as detergent is a great emulsifier.
What is a characteristic of emulsion?
Emulsified fats are soft shortenings that spread easily throughout a batter and quickly coat particles of sugar and flour.
What does the small intestine do in a ruminant digestive system?
In the small intestine, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are being emulsified with the help of some digestive enzymes.
What must happen to fat before it can be chemically digested?
Fats must be emulsified (broken down into small droplets) by bile in the duodenum before they can be digested.
What pancreatic enzyme digests fats?
Pancreatic ;ipase helps in the digestion of fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are emulsified by the bile produced by the liver producing fat globules. The fat globules are further digested by lipase to form fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are digested at the small intestine.

emulsification. fats are emulsified by bile, this lowers the surface tension for enzyme lipase to act on it on Ph8.5 to produce fatty acids and glycerol.
What are stool fats?
Stool fats, also known as fecal fats, or fecal lipids, are fats that are excreted in the feces.
What enzymes are used in a range of Cheeses in production?
Cheese is made up of proteins and fats. Proteins are broken down by a combination of stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid, and enzymes called proteases. Fats are broken down by a combination of bile, which emulsified the fat, and enzymes called lipases.
