What organ helps break down fat in small intestine?
The liver helps to break down fats by producing bile.
What forms the emulsion in the small intestine?
The emulsion in the small intestine is formed by bile salts. These bile salts help to break down large fat globules into smaller droplets, which increases the surface area for enzymes to act on and aids in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Which organs help in the chemical and physical change of fat?
The liver, pancreas, and small intestine are involved in the chemical and physical changes of fat in the body. The liver produces bile, which helps break down fat globules into smaller droplets. The pancreas releases enzymes that further break down the fats into absorbable molecules in the small intestine.
What nutrient does not undergo digestion until it reaches the small intestine?
Fat is a nutrient that is not fully digested until it reaches the small intestine. Enzymes called lipases break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine, where they can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
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.
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.
Is secreted by the and acts to emulsify in the?
Bile is secreted by the liver and acts to emulsify fats in the small intestine. It helps break down large fat droplets into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes to digest and absorb 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)).
Where are large fat droplets turned into small fat droplets?
Large fat droplets are turned into small fat droplets in the small intestine through a process called emulsification. This process is facilitated by bile salts released from the gallbladder, which break down the large fat droplets into smaller droplets, increasing the surface area for enzymes to act upon for digestion.
