Answer 2

✴Emulsification is the process of breaking down of the large fat globules into smaller globules and make them water soluble.

✴Emulsification of fats takes place in the duodenum with the help of the bile juice produced in liver.

✴It is necessary as it is difficult for the enzymes (lipases) to act on large fat globules.  

✴Emulsion of fats increases the efficiency of enzyme action to break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol which are easily absorbed through small intestines.
