AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine which process is helped by bile salts, we can analyze the options provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Bile Salts**: Bile salts are compounds produced from cholesterol in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. They play a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: Nucleic acids are broken down into nucleotides, nucleosides, sugars, and bases. This process does not involve bile salts. - **Option 2**: Sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose by the enzyme sucrase. This process also does not involve bile salts. - **Option 3**: Fats are acted upon by lipase, which breaks them down into diglycerides and monoglycerides. Bile salts emulsify fats, making them easier for lipase to act upon. - **Option 4**: Proteins are broken down into peptides and amino acids by various proteases. This process does not involve bile salts. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Since bile salts are specifically involved in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them, the correct answer is **Option 3**, which involves the breakdown of fats. ### Final Answer: The process helped by bile salts is the breakdown of fats, which is represented by **Option 3**. ---
