"Special enzymes on the walls of blood vessels called lipoprotein lipases must break down triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol."
Triglycerides are broken down by an enzyme called lipase, which hydrolyzes the ester bonds in triglycerides to release fatty acids and glycerol. This breakdown process occurs in the small intestine and is essential for the absorption of fats by the intestinal cells.
chemical digestions breaks the food apart
The digestion of triglycerides in the small intestine is catalyzed by the hormone CCK (Cholecystokinin) which stimulates the gallbladder to secret bile. The bile emulsifies the triglycerides.
Fats aren't broken down in the small intestine :/
maltase
the small intestine benefits the body because it breaks down the food even more......:)
no
small intestine
Amylase, which breaks down starches into monosaccharides, trypsin, which breaks down proteins, and lipase, which breaks down fat.
Maltase breaks down enzymes in the small intestine.
Food breaks down in the stomach, not the intestines.
