What enzyme does the stomach secrete - Answer-Gastric Lipase
What secretion emulsifies fats in the digestive tract? - Answer-Bile
This secretion has the ability to emulsify fats because it is amphipathic in nature,
meaning it has both a hydrophilic portion that can interact with water and a hydrophobic
portion that can interact with the lipid.
What is a micelle and where would you find it? - Answer-A micelle is a small droplet of
monoglycerides and fatty acids that combine with phospholipids and bile salts. Micelles
are found in the intestinal lumen during digestion just before absorption into intestinal
epithelial cells.
What is a chylomicron and where would you find it? - Answer-Once the fatty acids and
monoglycerides from micelles are absorbed into intestinal cells, they are repackaged by
organelles into chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins (they transport hydrophobic
materials through a hydrophilic environment) that then enter the lymphatic system. They
travel through the lymphatic system until they are dumped into the blood stream at the
vena cava and make their way to the liver for use.
Chylomicrons - Answer-Enter lymphatic system
What are the names of the 3 lipoproteins you should know - Answer-Very low density
lipoprotein (VLDL)
Low density lipoprotein (LDL)
High density lipoprotein (HDL)
