Question

How are fats digest in our bodies?

Answer 1

Fats are digested by lipase and salivary amylase which gets converted into fatty acids and glycerol

Answer 2

Small intestine is the complete degestion of fats ,protein and carbohydrate. It receive the secretion of pancreas and liver for this purpose. Fats are present in the intestine in the form of large globules. Globules which makes difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile salt break them down into smaller globules increasing the efficiency of enzymes. The pancreas secrete pancreatic juice which contains enzymes like trypsin for digesting protein and lipase for breaking down emulsified fat. The enzymes present in it finally convert the protein into amino acid, complex carbohydrates into glucose and fats into fatty acid and glycerol. Then the process of absorption take place and finally the absorbed food is utilised for obtaining energy, building up new tissue and repair old one.
