bile salts

[dat_student]

select the INCORRECT statement concerning bile salts
A) break down (digest) lipids
B) Emulsify and solubilize lipids
C) synthesize in the liver
D) Are stored in the gall bladder
E) Are not released by the gall bladder

They say (A) is the only incorrect statement. I think E is incorrect. Am I wrong?

I think (A) is correct answer (They are asking for INCORRECT statement). Bile emulisfies lipids not breaks down. And for (E) Bile is synthesized in the liver and stored in gall bladder and once needed released from the gall bladder so I think (E) is true.

But E says that it is NOT released by that gall bladder which is false as it is. Could there be two right answers to this question?

Oops ! I think (E) is correct. I was just looking at different sources I use to refer for Bio, and every thing points to that Bile is temporarily stored in gallbladder and released from there.

With option (A), It really depends how you interpret break down (because they have specified the word digest in parenthesis). Again, the resources I use say, Bile emulsifies lipids and break down lipid into small droplets so that fat-digesting enzyme (ex. lipase) can work on.

So with this, then its upto the reader to interpret. If I am given the choice, I will also pick (E). Thanks cowsgomoo ! BTW, I am also in Alpharetta ! When are you planning to take the DAT ?

I know you will do fine. Good Luck ! Let me know how you did ?

A is definitely the answer
good luck and rock that DAT

Isn't bile released from the gall bladder???? I think A & E are both incorrect statements and therefore the right answers.

that's a word play I think. Bile is released into the gall bladder and stored in there. Low pH triggers the bile release FROM THE GALL BLADDER.... blah blah blah...

I hate those "INCORRECT statement" type questions You are right dat_student.

 

[heshyn2000]

100% E is the correct answer.

 

[tweety0805]

There is an error with this problem definitely. A and E are both wrong!

Bile DOES NOT digest fat, it emulsify the fat. Bile is definitely released by the gallbladder into small intestine.

Actually it is the presence of fats in the small intestine that triggers CCK to make the gall bladder release the bile. I thought I’d just let everyone know as this maybe a trick question on real DAT.
