Title: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion-Physioex 9 Exercise 8
Post by: Elsa Marie on Nov 16, 2012
Activity 4- Assessing Lipase Digestion of Fat.

3.  Explain why pancreatic lipase would be active in the mouth and the intestine.

4.  Describe the process of bile emulsification of lipids and how it improves lipase activity.

Since the activity of pancreatic lipase is highest at pH 7.0, the enzyme should be active in the mouth and the pancreas.

3.  Explain why pancreatic lipase would be active in the mouth and the intestine.

4.  Describe the process of bile emulsification of lipids and how it improves lipase activity.

Bile serves to mechanically break up large globules of fat and produce small droplets that effectively increases the surface area of the lipids.

How can we check the answers. ALL I see are the questions and I am looking to check my PhysioEx 9.0 Exercise 8 Activity 4 questions that start with "Describe how lipase activity is measured in the stimulation"
