Which organs help digest lipids?

Answer 1

The fat that we consume (like butter), has to be converted into a fluid or watery substance like the fluid in the intestine. In order to dissolve the fat-

the bile acids produced by the liver are necessary

enzymes produced by the pancreas are necessary and

the juices produced by the intestine

Later, the dissolved fat molecules are transported to various parts of the body through the blood.

Hence, the pancreas, liver and the intestine are the necessary organs that help convert fat into energy.

Answer 2

The digestive processwillbegin in the mouth where the enzyme amylase will be released and convert starch into maltose.In the small intestine the enzymes maltase, sucrase and lactase are secreted which will convert maltose, sucrose and lactose respectively into monosaccharides.

The monosaccharides which mostly consists of glucose, but also galactose and fructose, will be absorbed by theepithelialcells in the small intestine and then transported into the bloodstream.

Fructose and galactose will, afterabsorption, be transported to the liver for conversion to glucose or fat.

Some carbohydrates will pass the small intestineundigestedand reach the large intestine in this state. Some will pass right through and beexcretedin our feces while others,digestiblefibers, will be fermented by the bacteria and absorbed as small chained fatty acids.

Answer 3

The liver produces bile which helps digest lipids. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and flows from the gallbladder to the duodenum where it helps digest fats produced by lipids.

Answer 4

carbohydrates are digested in our STOMACH!!
while the fats are digested by a chemical produced in our LIVER!!
and the proteins are digested inside of our SMALL INTESTINE!!
