Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile salts aid both fat digestion and absorption through micelle formation. They are secreted into the bile and help in emulsifying fats, making them easier to break down by lipase enzymes. The resulting breakdown products are then able to form micelles with bile salts, which helps their absorption across the intestinal lining.
