Q

How is the result of the emulsification experiment related to the role of bile in lipid digestion in the GI tract?

A

Bile in your body breaks down lipids into smaller pieces to increase the surface area of the fat, making it easier for digestion. In the experiment, the bile salt solution broke down the lipid (oil) to aid in digestion.

A

The cloudiness of a liquid.

A

No because it is a comparative number.

84
Q

What are urine sediments?

A

Microscopic solids that collect at the bottom of a centrifuged urine sample; includes normal and abnormal urine components.

85
