Question

• C. amino acids
• D. sulphonic acids

Answer 1

The correct option is A bile juices

The substances which act as emulsifiers in lipid metabolism are bile juices. Emulsification is the process whereby large globules of fat are broken down into smaller globules and made water soluble. Bile juices are produced in the liver and then stored in the gall bladder. They are secreted into the duodenun by contractions of the gall bladder.
