Q. Digestion of fat in intestine is aided by

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

The digestion of fats in the intestine is aided by emulsification, the breaking up of fat globules into much smaller emulsion droplets. Emulsification greatly increases the surface area where water-soluble lipase enzyme breaks lipids into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
