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: -Answer and Explanation: The answer is bile salts. Bile is a mixture of substances produced by the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and delivered to the small intestine. Bile salts are a component of bile; they work as emulsifiers of lipids.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Through the process of emulsification, bile acids break down large lipid droplets into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for digestive enzymes. Emulsification is possible due to the amphipathic property of bile salts [1].
