Question

The function of bile in fat digestion is to: a. neutralize stomach acidity b. emulsify fats into smaller particles c. activate pancreatic lipase d. initiate fat digestion in the stomach e. hydrolyze fatty acids from triglycerides

Answer 1

Answer: Option B.

Emulsify fat into smaller particles.

Explanation:

Bile is a dark green or yellowish substances that is produced by veterbrates liver which help in digestion of fats in small intestine. The acids in bile is use for digestion and absorption of fats

soluble vitamins and lipids.

The liver produced the bile, the bile emulsify fats or break down fats into small particles to large surface area. When it is break down to smaller particles it can then be digested by lipase i.e enzyme that acts on fats.

Answer 2

Answer: b. emulsify fats into smaller particles.

Explanation: Bile is a substance produced in the liver. Bile aids in the digestion and absorption of ingested fat in the body. During digestion of fat molecules, bile emulsifies or breakdown the large fat globules into smaller droplets. This gives the fat a large surface area for the lipase enzymes (fat digesting) to act on.

The bile is also responsible for the removal of waste products such as the bilirubin in the body.
