Answer:

To prevent or limit bacterial contamination of the collected blood

Explanation:

The first few milliliters of blood have been reported to have a high probability of bacterial contaminant from the skin. Several studies have shown that diverting the first 10 to 30 milliliters of blood from a donor into a special pouch is effective in limiting the chances of collected blood being contaminated with bacteria.

<em>Hence, the purpose of the procedure is to limit the bacterial contaminant that will enter the blood collection bag.</em>

Emulsion of fatty acids is necessary to _____.
kap26 [50]

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.
