Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile salts are produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. They help in emulsifying fats into smaller molecules that can be easily absorbed by the body, forming micelles.

Answer: D
 Lipase is an enzyme that is necessary for the digestion and absorption of fats. It is produced by the pancreas and released into the small intestine, where it breaks down the lipids in food to form micelles.

Other choices are incorrect as they are not directly involved in the formation of micelles for fat absorption. Pepsin and trypsin are enzymes involved in protein digestion, while amylase breaks down carbohydrates.
