|
Bile is produced in liver and stored in gall bladder.
|
|
|
Action of bile on fats is called emulsification.
|
|
|
Bile acts on fats and turns fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once the bile salts have emulsified the triglycerides, the pancreatic lipases down triglycerides into free fatty acids. These fatty acids can be transported across the intestinal membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -lipase, any of a group of fat-splitting enzymes found in the blood, gastric juices, pancreatic secretions, intestinal juices, and adipose tissues. Lipases hydrolyze triglycerides (fats) into their component fatty acid and glycerol molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down the lipids present in the form of emulsified fat and converts them into fatty acids and glycerol.
