A nutrition student tries to distinguish the roles of bile salts and pancreatic lipase in fat digestion. Both are essential, but they have fundamentally different mechanisms. Which combination best contrasts their roles?

Bile salts are enzymes that cleave triglycerides into fatty acids; pancreatic lipase is a detergent that emulsifies fat globules Bile salts neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine; pancreatic lipase activates pepsin in the stomach Bile salts physically emulsify large lipid globules into smaller droplets (increasing surface area) but do not chemically cleave bonds; pancreatic lipase is an enzyme that chemically cleaves triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides for absorption Both bile salts and pancreatic lipase perform the same emulsification function and are interchangeable
