22 bile salts function like detergents in that they fat globules. multiple choice digest coagulate liquefy emulsify
Bile salts act like detergents. Detergents break down large fat globules into smaller ones. In the body, bile salts perform the same function. This process is called emulsification. Emulsification increases the surface area of fats for better digestion. Digestion is a broader process involving enzymes. Coagulate means to clot, which is not relevant here. Liquefy means to turn into liquid, but bile salts' key role is emulsification (breaking into smaller globules, not just liquefying).
