I'm sorry if I confused anyone that answered this question before. I accidentally left out the given answer when I first posted it.
Question asks:
“Gallstone surgery sometimes requires that the gallbladder be removed. Patients are then advised to avoid ingesting large amounts of fat because_______.
(A) the gallbladder makes bile, which is necessary for fat emulsification.
(B) Without the bile produced by the gallbladder, fats cannot be enzymatically hydrolyzed.
(C) The gallbladder produces the hormone enterogastrone.
(D) the gallbladder stores large quantities of bile, releasing it when fats reach the small intestine.
(E) Chylomicrons first enter the gallbladder before moving to the liver
The answer given is D but I’m wonder why B wouldn’t be correct. Is it because lipase can still hydrolyze without bile??
