What is the function of bile in the digestion of fats in the small intestine?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

When digesting fats, bile acts as an emulsifier to break the large fat globules into smaller emulsion droplets. Emulsified fats provide a larger area for the fat-digesting enzymes (lipase) to act, making the process quicker. Bile acts as a good solvent.

Landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and caverns
irina [24]
The landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and cavers are called Karst landscape or karst topography. This kind of development start occuring whenever the acidic water starts breaking down the bedrocks near the cracks. As the bedrock starts breaking down slowly, the cracks start to open up creating bigger holes. with passage of time the holes will become big enough to create an underground drainage system for the surface water to flow and form underneath. If the water is unable to flow out and becomes stagnant, then the Karst will start getting bigger.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

A.  Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

  • Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
  • Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
  • The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
  • Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
  • This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.
