Problems with the processes of lipid breakdown in small intestine are caused by disturbed lipase activity. What factor activates lipase?
- A. Bile acids
- B. Enterokinase
- C. Na⁺ salts
- D. Pepsin

Pancreatic lipase acts only at the surface of tiny emulsified fat droplets; ask which secretion entering the duodenum breaks fat into such droplets and, together with colipase, lets the enzyme bind and work.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
