DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are necessary for efficient digestion of lipids?
A
Bile
B
Lipase
C
Triglyceride
D
Monoglyceride
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bile and pancreatic juice provide pancreatic lipase, bile salts, and colipase, which function cooperatively to ensure the efficiency of lipid digestion and absorption.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction and breaks down ester bonds of lipids and fats and converts into fatty acids, glycerol, and other alcohols (Melani et al., 2020).

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipases are the enzymes which are responsible for the breakdown of lipid complexes described above, and overall necessary for the lipid digestion. They absorb to the droplet surface, hence the nature of the interfacial layer will determine rate and extent of lipid hydrolysis[10].

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipase. This enzyme works together with bile, which your liver produces, to break down fat in your diet. If you don’t have enough lipase, your body will have trouble absorbing fat and the important fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Symptoms of poor fat absorption include diarrhea and fatty bowel movements.
