BIOL2930 17 S2 LAB 10 DIGESTIVE ENZYMES POST-LAB (Compatibility Mode) Mailings Review View Experiment #3: You conduct an experiment to investigate the effects of ble salts on fat digestion. Use the results presented in Table 3 to answer questions 4 &S.; This is similar to what you did in lab. Refer to your notes. Table 3: Experiment 83 Results Test Tube Contents Cream, pancreatin Cream, pancreatin, bile salts pH at time o 6.7 74 pH after 1 hour 6.0 6.2 Test Tube # 4. 12pts] Why does pH decrease with fat digestion? 5. (3pts) Analyze the data Show some calculations Using your analysis as evidence, esplain thgeffec of bile salts on fat digestion

Explanation / Answer

during the digestion of fats by lipase or any fatty acid digesting enzymes, the fats (neutral) are converted into their respextive fatty acids, which causes acidity of the environment, eventually decreasing the pH.

bile salts act as surfactant by emulsifying the dietary fats into micelles. this emulfication of fatty acids helps in effective digestion by fatty acid digesting enzymes.
