Vedclass · Answer

(D) Fats are insoluble in water and cannot be absorbed directly by the intestinal mucosa.First,bile salts perform emulsification,breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets to increase the surface area for enzyme action.Then,pancreatic lipase performs hydrolysis,breaking down triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides.These products are incorporated into micelles,which are then absorbed by the intestinal epithelial cells.
