Question

What is the function of colipase in the human digestive system?

• A. Stimulates insulin secretion
• B. Activates pepsinogen
• C. Helps lipase to act on fat droplets
• D. Converts bile salts into bile pigments

Hint:

Colipase is essential for proper fat digestion, as it helps lipase reach the fat droplets for efficient breakdown.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Colipase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion of dietary fats. It aids in the function of lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fat droplets. Colipase binds to the fat droplets and ensures that lipase can effectively hydrolyze the triglycerides in the droplets. Therefore, option (C) is the correct answer.
