Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together in the small intestine bile salts, emulsified dietary lipids, breaking them down into smaller droplets. These smaller lipid droplets associate with bile salts, phospholipids and cholesterol to form. What is it? Answer choice. A chylomicron answer choice B cholecystokinin answer choice. C hydrochloric acid or answer choice D my cells let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is what is formed when the smaller lipid droplets associate with the bio salts, phospholipids and cholesterol. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about what these smaller lipid droplets form with the bios salts, fossil lipids and the cholesterol. And we know that when those smaller lipid droplets associate with the bios salts, fossil lipids and cholesterol, they form water soluble structures that facilitate the absorption of lipids by increasing their surface area. And we know that the water soluble structures are called my cells which are spherical aggregates that help. So lize lipids. So these smaller lipid droplets associate with bile salts, fossil lipids and cholesterol to form answer choice D my cells and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
