Question

bile salts function like detergents in that they ____________ fat globules. multiple choice coagulate emulsify digest liquefy

Explanation:

Bile salts break down large fat globules into smaller droplets. This process is called emulsification. Detergents also break down substances (like grease) into smaller parts. Coagulate means to clump together (opposite of what bile salts do). Digest involves chemical breakdown (bile salts don't chemically digest fats, enzymes do). Liquefy means to turn into liquid (not the main function here).

Answer:

emulsify
