Carbohydrates start to break down in the mouth due to the presence of an enzyme called salivary amylase found naturally in saliva. The carbohydrates are further broken down in the stomach and small intestine. Fats are broken down in the stomach and small intestine with the help of enzymes secreted from the pancreas, gall bladder, liver, etc.
Digestion of fats begins in the first part of the small intestine. (duodenum)
The digestion of any food, including fat, starts in the mouth.
Small Intestine

Mouth?
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
Digestion breaks down fat, carbohydrates, and protein into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Without it, no absorption --> malnutrition --> death
The mouth is important because that is the first place where food is mechanically chewed up before it reaches the stomach. It also is mixed with saliva which makes it moist and carries amylase an enzyme that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates,
Fat is burned into carbohydrates yes.
drain the fat
No it does not. It only emulsifies fats, creating a greater total surface area for more efficient digestion by enzymes such as lipase.
Fat digestion begins in the start of the small intestine, where emulsification by bile breaks it up physically and lipase acts on it to speed its conversion to fatty acids and glycerol.
When you intake excess carbohydrates than you required it is turned to fat. Not only carbohydrates, proteins will also turns to fat if taken in excess. But there are times when carbohydrates won't change to fat. These are post workout meal and breakfast.
carbohydrates are the first source that is used by the body during fasting ,second is fat and then protein
Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat.
FAT!
