Degradation decomposition

|
|
Lipid dehydration
|
|
|
Emulsification
|
|
|
Phospolipid denaturation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When bile enters the small intestine, it will mix with the fat globules and will cause them to break down into smaller units called emulsion droplets. This process is called emulsification. Emulsification greatly increases the surface area of the fat on which the lipase can actually act on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Emulsification is a process in which large lipid globules are broken down into several small lipid globules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Bile salts surround fat droplets in order to create micelles. These micelles are more accessible to the enzymes that have the ability to break them down further. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins that are important in transport and metabolism of lipids.
