Question

Emulsified fats are digested by

• A. Gastric juice and Pancreatic juice
• B. Bile juice and Intestinal juice
• C. Pancreatic juice and Bile juice
• D. Pancreatic juice and Intestinal juice

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pancreatic juice and Intestinal juice

The breakdown of fat globules in the duodenum into the droplets, which provide a larger surface area on which the enzyme lipase can act to digest the fats into the fatty acids and glycerol is called the emulsification of fats. Now, these emulsified fats are acted upon by the pancreatic lipase and intestinal lipase to break down into fatty acids and glycerol.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
