Where is lipids digested in the human body?

Name 4 polymers that are digested in the small intestine?
proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids.
Where are carbohydrates lipids and proteins broke down in the GI tract?
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach. Carbs require several enzymes to be digested, such as the enzyme salivary amylase (secreted in the mouth); digestion ultimately occurs at the level of the stomach. Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.
How do lipids move through the body so they can be digested and absorbed?
In order for lipids to move through the bloodstream they must combine with proteins to form lipoproteins. liquids are spelt liquids not lipids Lipids is correct. The question is not liquids. Also, it is spelled not spelt!
