Why do fats in diet form large globules in the small intestine?​

Correct option is C

The correct answer is(C) Because fats do not mix well with watery slurry produced in the stomach.

Here's why:

• Fats are nonpolar: Fats are nonpolar molecules, meaning they don't have a positive or negative charge.  
• Water is polar: Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a slightly positive and slightly negative end.  
• "Like dissolves like": Polar substances tend to dissolve in other polar substances, while nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar substances.  

Since fats and water have different polarities, they don't mix easily. This is why fats form large globules in the watery environment of the small intestine.  

Let's address the other options:

• Trapped in fibrous carbohydrates: While some fats might become temporarily entangled with fibers, this isn't the primary reason for their globule formation.
• Clumping with proteins: Protein-fat interactions can occur, but they don't typically lead to large, distinct globules.
• Incomplete digestion by lipase: Lipase enzymes primarily act in the small intestine, not the stomach. Even if some fat digestion occurs in the stomach, it wouldn't be the main factor causing globule formation.

The key takeaway is that the inherent difference in polarity between fats and the watery environment in the digestive system is the primary reason why fats form large globules.
