Fat is chemically digested primarily in the small intestine, where bile salts from the liver emulsify fats, allowing pancreatic lipase to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Mechanically, fat is initially broken down in the mouth through mastication (chewing) and further emulsified in the stomach by churning. The majority of fat digestion occurs in the small intestine, where the emulsification process enhances enzymatic action.
What else can I help you with?
How are fats chemically and mechanically digested in the small intestine?
In the small intestine, fats are chemically digested by bile salts, which break them down into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes like lipase to further break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Mechanically, fats are emulsified by the churning action of the small intestine, which helps mix the fats with digestive enzymes for better absorption.
What must happen to fat before it can be chemically digested?
Fats must be emulsified (broken down into small droplets) by bile in the duodenum before they can be digested.
Does wind weather rocks mechanically or chemically?
Mechanically
What are three ways sedimentary rocks can form?
Biologically, Chemically and Mechanically.
Are sedimentary rocks chemically weathered?
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
What is chemically digested in the stomach?
food!!
What is happening to the food inside the stomach?
Your food enters through your mouth and you start chemically and mechanically breaking down your food. Then your food goes down your esophagus with peristalsis. When your food enters your stomach, it is again chemically and mechanically digested. Then your food goes down your small intestine where the minerals and nutrients are taken out. When your food enters the large intestine the water is taken from it. Then it exits out of your anus.
Does energy have to be used up immediately?
no it doesn't it can be stored in fat or lipids and saved for later
Can igneous rock be destroyed?
Yes, they can be eroded chemically and mechanically.
How can a combination of several substances be separated?
