The triglycerides are each broken into a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. From the intestines they are absorbed into the bloodstream as monoglycerides and brought to the liver for processing. The atoms can be re-configured so the energy can either be used (burned) or stored as fat for later use.
What else can I help you with?
When needed for a source of energy fatty acids are broken down in glucose?
fat is broken down into fatty acids
What enzymes break down protein and fat?
Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases, such as pepsin and trypsin. Fats are broken down by enzymes called lipases, such as pancreatic lipase. These enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules for absorption in the body.
Is metabolizing fat a part of chemical change?
Yes. When fat is metabolized, it is broken down by a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
Does an enzyme break down fat?
Lipase enzymes digest fats (otherwise known as 'lipids'). Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
How does butter in your food get digested and absorbed in the body?
Butter is a fat. Fats are broken by lipase's, enzymes made in the pancreas. When they are broken down into smaller carbon chains and some hydrolyzed they are absorbed thru the intestinal wall into the mesenteric blood vessels and also into lymph channels. They are then passed thru the liver and broken down further(metabolized) or stored in fat cells.
What would steak be broken into?
Steak and most meats contain mostly protein and fat. The protein is broken down to amino acids and the fat is broken down to fatty acids and glycerine.
What would the steak be broken into?
Steak and most meats contain mostly protein and fat. The protein is broken down to amino acids and the fat is broken down to fatty acids and glycerine.
How are fat broken down?
Fats are broken down by the body into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken down to glucose to provide the body with energy.
When needed for a source of energy fatty acids are broken down in glucose?
fat is broken down into fatty acids
Why must be food be broken down in your body?
Fat reserves in the body can be mobilized and broken down to release energy.
What enzymes break down protein and fat?
Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases, such as pepsin and trypsin. Fats are broken down by enzymes called lipases, such as pancreatic lipase. These enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules for absorption in the body.
What is produced when fat you broken down by lipase?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Why does fat need to be broken up?
It needs to be broken down so in doesn't clog up your blood stream.
What product is formed when fat is broken down by the enzyme lipase?
fatty acids.
Is metabolizing fat a part of chemical change?
Yes. When fat is metabolized, it is broken down by a chemical reaction called hydrolysis.
Do you fart out fat?
No, you do not fart out fat. Farting is the release of gas from the digestive system, while fat is stored in the body and broken down through metabolism.
How is saturated fat digested and absorbed in the intestinal tract?
Broken down into starch and glycose
