Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile salts emulsify lipids by breaking them down into smaller droplets, which increases their surface area and allows pancreatic lipase to digest them more easily. Pancreatic lipase works to hydrolyze triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, but it does not emulsify lipids. Salivary amylase works in the mouth to break down carbohydrates, while soluble fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
