Bile is one example of an emulsifier in your body that is being secreted from the liver. It is temporarily stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine (duodenum).

What is the breakdown of large lipid globules into a suspension of droplets?

Large lipid globules are broken down into a suspension of smaller droplets through a process called emulsification. This process involves the mechanical action of mixing or blending the lipids with a dispersing agent, such as bile salts or lecithin, to create smaller droplets that are stable in the surrounding medium, such as water. Emulsification increases the surface area of the lipid droplets, making them more accessible to digestive enzymes for efficient digestion and absorption.


Process of breaking up large fat globules?

The process of breaking up large fat globules into smaller droplets is called emulsification. Emulsification can be achieved by mechanical means, such as stirring, shaking, or blending, or by using emulsifiers like lecithin that help stabilize the mixture. This process increases the surface area of the fat droplets, making them easier to mix with other ingredients and creating a smoother texture in the final product.


What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?

That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols


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.
