Where does fat get broken down in the digestive system?

Answer 1

There are two types of digestion: mechanical (such as chewing), and chemical (involving enzymes.) Enzymes are protein-based, biological catalysts that are specific to a particular molecule. Protease enzymes, for instance, break down proteins, while lipase enzymes digest lipids. Each enzyme has a region called the active site. It is the active site that makes enzymes specific to just one substrate, due to its unique shape. The molecules attach to the active aite, and are broken down. Once the nutrients are digested into their end products, they are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Answer 2

Fat is broken down by lipase enzymes in the small intestine.

Answer 3

Fats are digested by a group of enzymes called lipases. The technical term for fats and oils is "lipid", hence the name of the enzymes responsible for breaking down the fat molecules.

Answer 4

fat is broken down by avoiding carbohydrate and adding olive oil in salads.

Answer 5

because of finger like projections present in small intestine .

Answer 6

in the small intestine

Answer 7
