Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile is released from the gallbladder into the small intestine, where it emulsifies fats and breaks them down into smaller droplets. Colipase is then released from the pancreas and binds to the surface of the emulsified fat droplets. Pancreatic lipase is then able to bind to colipase and break down the fat molecules into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. Micelles are then formed from the breakdown products and help transport them to the intestinal cell wall for absorption. Therefore, the correct order is bile, colipase, pancreatic lipase, micelles.
