Not in NEET syllabus
Which of the following processes is helped by bile salts? (a) Nucleic acid --Nuclease--> Nucleotides --Nucleotidase--> Nucleosides --Nucleosidase--> Sugars + Bases; (b) Sucrose --Sucrase--> Glucose + Fructose; (c) Fats --Lipase--> Diglycerides --Lipase--> Monoglycerides; (d) Proteins, peptones, proteoses --Trypsin/Chymotrypsin--> ... --Carboxypeptidase--> Dipeptides.
Answer: (C)
Solution
Bile salts emulsify fat, breaking large fat globules into many small droplets and greatly increasing the surface area available for lipase action; this specifically accelerates the stepwise
