Lipid droplet formation increases the surface area for lipase action, speeding up triglyceride hydrolysis; micelles then carry fatty acids and glycerol to and through the intestinal cell membrane.
A formação de gotículas lipídicas aumenta a área de superfície para a ação da lipase, acelerando a hidrólise dos triglicerídeos; as micelas transportam ácidos gordos e glicerol através da membrana para a célula intestinal.
| Front | Explain the advantages of lipid droplet and micelle formation. |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Droplets increase surface areas (for lipase / enzyme action); 2. (So) faster hydrolysis / digestion (of triglycerides / lipids); 3. Micelles carry fatty acids and glycerol / monoglycerides to / through membrane / to (intestinal epithelial) cell; |
