The experiment on fat digestion aimed to demonstrate the influence of bile salts and lipase enzymes on the process. Fat molecules present a challenge as they do not dissolve in water, forming large globules that are not easily accessible to lipase enzymes responsible for their breakdown. Emulsification by bile salts in the small intestine is crucial to prevent fat droplets from coalescing, enabling efficient digestion. The experiment involved setting up test tubes with cream and bromothymol blue...
