  • Card 11 / 29:
    Explain the role of bile salts and lecithin in the emulsification of lipids (fats).

    Bile salts and lecithin can emulsify large lipid globules because they are amphipathic; they have a nonpolar (hydrophobic) region that attaches to the large fat molecules as well as a polar (hydrophilic) region that interacts with the watery chime in the intestine.
