What else can I help you with?
When fat is emulsified what does it break into?
emulsification
What is the importance of bile salts in digestion?
the bile converts larger molecules of fat into emulsified fat by a process called emulsification
What are the tiny spherical complexes of emulsified fat that arise during digestion?
Micelles (My-cells) : tiny spherical complexes of emulsified fat that arise during digestion; most contain bile salts and the products of lipid digestion, including fatty acids, monoglycerides, and cholesterol.
Where are fats emulsified?
Fats are primarily emulsified in the small intestine. This process is facilitated by bile salts, which are produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When dietary fats enter the small intestine, bile is released, helping to break down large fat globules into smaller droplets, making them more accessible to digestive enzymes like lipase. This emulsification is crucial for the efficient digestion and absorption of fats.
What bile salts are in bile?
The main bile salts in bile are cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, which are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. These bile salts help emulsify fats in the digestive system, aiding in their breakdown and absorption.
What sort of chemical is the bile?
Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
Do bile salts produce lipids?
No, bile salts emulsify lipids to aid in their digestion.
What is the most essential part of bile?
Bile salts
Name test for bile pigments and bile salts?
test for bile salts - Hay's sulphur powder test n test for bile pigments - fauchet's test
Why is bile important?
bile salts in bile speed up fat digestion
Diseases in which bile salts appear in urine?
If you think too much bile salts appear in the urine, if you're an a s s h o l e, then probably no bile salts will be there
Are phospholipids found in bile salts?
No, but phospholipids are found in bile (along with bile salts, water, cholesterol, bilirubin, and a small amount of other solutes)
