Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The emulsification of fats is necessary so as to allow to easy break down of large molecules of fats into smaller droplets increasing their surface are such that enzymes like lipases can act on them, digest them breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol to be easily absorbed by the small intestine.

Answer:

c. increase the surface area available for hydrolysis by lipase

Explanation:

Emulsification of fats(fatty acid) is a chemical reaction where large molecules(globules) of fats are broken down into a smaller molecules (droplets) by the action of an emulsifier.

In the human body, emulsification takes places in the duodenum during the process of digestion of fats. When large fat molecules have been broken down into smaller fat molecules by action of an emulsifier called bile salts from the gall bladder, a larger surface area is created which makes it possible for the enzyme lipase from the pancreas to react with or act on fat molecules through the process of hydrolysis thereby converting the fats to fatty acids and glycerol for use by the body.

Which one of the following is NOT a characteristic of the carrying
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em> The carrying capacity is determined only by the density-dependent factors.</em>

Explanation:

The maximum number of organisms of a particular species that an environment can hold is known as the carrying capacity of that environment. The carrying capacity depends on density-dependent factors as well as density- independent factors like weather, sunlight etc.

Beyond the carrying capacity, the organisms will begin to fight with each other for limited resources. The environment will become unstable as the resources will be scarce and individuals will be more.
