fats are broken down in the liver and gaul bladder
this is only
partialy right if i am not mistaken they are actually broken down using bile from the liver that was stored in the gaul bladder but am not 100% shure i was looking for this question and saw this and just had to replace it.

∙ 6y agoChemical digestion starts in the stomach. In the walls of the stomach are structures called pits which are effectively just that. Some of the cells lining these pits secrete a zymogen called pepsinogen, the innactive form of pepsin. Pepsin is the enxyme that breaks peptide bonds, thus it breaks down proteins. Pepsinogen is completely useless for protein digestion and to make into the active pepsim molecule a very low pH is required. To create this environment there are other cells in the pits that produce hydrochloric acid. In short The stomach is the begining of protein digestion.
stomach and small intestine.....this is for NovaNET users. ha. (:Chemical digestion of protein occurs in your stomach. When your stomach makes gastric acid it breaks down protein into amino acids.
Any food you eat travels down your esophagus and to your stomach. Proteins are the only of the three macromolecules that is digested directly in the stomach by your hydrochloric acid and is broken down into amino acids. The amino acids eventually reach the small intestine where they will be absorbed by the villi in the lining of the intestines. Then your blood will carry and diffuse these nutrients by means of blood capillaries to other vital parts of your body.

∙ 10y agoFat is digested in the beginning of the small intestine by a enzyme called bile
bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder(a small sack connected to the liver)

What are the digestive enzymes found in the pancreas?
No digestion actually happens in the pancreas, but the pancreas does secret enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into the digestive system.
What helps break down fats?
enzymes break down fats
What digestive enzymes are located in the plasma membranes of cells in the lining of the small intestine?
The plasma membranes of cells in the lining of the small intestine contain brush border enzymes, which are responsible for the final breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Some examples of these digestive enzymes include maltase, sucrase, lactase (to break down carbohydrates), peptidase (to break down proteins), and lipase (to break down fats).
What are the three types of enzymes and what food do they break down?
Generally speaking, there are three classes of enzyme in our digestive system. They are listed below, alongside the molecules they break down.Lipase - lipidsCarbohydrase - carbohydratesProteases - proteins
Which Two organs that secrete enzymes to help the digestive tract?
There are actually three organs that secrete digestive substances into the small intestine to help digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These organs are: - the liver - the pancreas - the gallbladder
How would digestive enzyme help to clean cloths with proteins and fats on them?
Washing powder contain enzymes which break down fats and protein into simpler molecules
Does the pancreas breakdown fats and carbs?
The digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas help to break down fats, proteins and starch molecules.
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What are the 3 main organ functions of the digestive system?
The 3 main purposes of the digestive tract are: digest, absorb and eliminate. It digests food, absorbs the nutrients and eliminates the wastes.
What digestive juice from the liver helps to adsorb fats in the bloodstream?
Bile is the digestive juice from your liver. Bile salts break down fat. Hope this helps :)
What is needed to break fats down?
Enzymes are needed to break fats down.
What are the digestive enzymes found in the pancreas?
No digestion actually happens in the pancreas, but the pancreas does secret enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into the digestive system.
What does the Liver do in digestive system?
it produces bile and the gallbladder stores the bile
What helps break down fats?
enzymes break down fats
What is the definition of the term 'lipase'?
Lipase is a digestive enzyme that in humans is secreted primarily by the pancreas. Its function is to break down fats in the digestive system into fatty acids and other components that can be absorbed by the intestines.
True or false. fat is adsorbed directly from the digestive tract to the blood.?
False, fats go to the lymphatic system.
What do chewing and the action of bile have in common in the digestive system?
They both break down a certain thing. Bile breaks down fats while chewing breaks down carbohydrates in simple sugar
