Detailed explanation-1: -Bile salts break down larger fat globules in food into small droplets of fat. Smaller fat droplets are easier for the digestive enzymes from the pancreas to process and break down. The bile salts also help the cells in the bowel to absorb these fat droplets.
Detailed explanation-2: -A digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder that breaks down fats in the small intestine and helps remove wastes from the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fat enzyme: Lipase Lipase is the major enzyme that breaks down dietary fats into smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol. This is done when lipase hydrolyzes lipids, the ester bonds in triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bile juice secreted by the liver is devoid of any digestive enzymes, but it helps in the digestion of fats. Fats are present as large globules and are insoluble in water. The bile juice breaks down the big fat globules into smaller globules.
