What organ helps break down fat in small intestine?
The liver helps to break down fats by producing bile.
What organ controls fats?
The Pancreas and small intestine break down fat molecules
What happens in to the small intestine?
In the small intestine, the food is digested for the last time in the digestive system. Bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice are let into the small intestine when the food enters the small intestine. The bile acid is the greenish liquid that that breaks down the large fat molecule into small fat molecule. The intestinal and pancreatic juice contain protease, carbohydrase and lipase. The pancreatic juice is made in the pancreas and it flows into the small intestine while the intestinal juice is made in the small intestine itself. The protease break down the polypeptide into amino acids, carbohydrase break down maltose into glucose and the lipase will break down the small fat molecule into glycerol and fatty acid. the walls of the small intestine have many blood vessels. Only the simple molecules such as amino acids, glucose, glycerol and fatty acids can be absorbed into the blood vessels. The large molecules such as proteins, polypeptide, carbohydrate, maltose and fats cannot enter the bloodstream as they are too big to be absorbed and so all this big nutrient molecules will be passed on to the large intestine to be disposed off through the anus in the form of faeces. The walls of the small intestine are filled villi which provide a large surface area for the absorption of nutrients to be faster.
What is the enzyme that breaks down fat in the small intestines?
Bile secreated by the gullbladder underneath the liver
Do a frog's large intestine obsorb chyme?
its fat
In the stomach there is essentially no digestion of which macronutrient?
In the stomach, very little fat is digested. Most of fat digestion occurs in the intestine, where bile and enzymes act to break down fats.
What ia the small intestine?
it is a digestive organ in the body that absorbs broken down food, at the start of it the pancreas produces lipases that break down fat. hope this helps.

How does the liver help to digest fats?
Bile is the liqued produced by the liver and stored and contrated in the gall bladder until needed for digestion. Bile acts like a detergent to break up large fat globules into smaller ones that pancreatic enzymes in pancreatic juice can break down small enough that fat can be absorbed through the small intestine wall. The enzyme that breaks down fat (lipids) is called lipase. When food, in the form of 'chyme', goes into the small intestine from the stomach, bile and digestive juices from the pancreus are added via the common bile duct (a tube that conveys the bile from the liver and the panreatic juice from the pancreus to the SI (small intestine)).

What specific nutrient does bile break down during digestion in a pig?
Bile makes large fat molecules into very small one and that allows the enzyme lipase to further break down fat. It doesn't matter if it is pigs or humans.
Does starch break down fat?
No, starch can not break down fat. they are different bio-molecules.
