Digestion and Absorption of Lipids Quiz

Study Notes

Lipid Digestion

The release of bile from the gallbladder is triggered by the presence of fatty acids in the duodenum.
In the stomach, triacylglycerols (TAGs) undergo hydrolysis, breaking down into diacylglycerols and fatty acids.
The primary function of bile in lipid digestion is to emulsify dietary fats, breaking them into smaller particles to increase surface area for enzymatic action.
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) make up approximately 90% of total dietary lipids.
The resulting material of the churning action of the stomach on food contents is chyme, a semi-liquid mixture of partially digested food.
The release of bile from the gallbladder during lipid digestion is triggered by the presence of fatty acids in the duodenum.
In the stomach, triacylglycerols (TAGs) undergo hydrolysis, breaking down into diacylglycerols and fatty acids.
The primary function of bile in lipid digestion is to emulsify dietary fats, breaking them into smaller particles to increase surface area for enzymatic action.
The composition of chyme in the stomach during lipid digestion is a semi-liquid mixture of partially digested food, including diacylglycerols, fatty acids, and other nutrients.
Lipid digestion in the stomach is initiated by the presence of dietary fats, which stimulate the release of gastric lipase to break down TAGs.
