Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As pancreatic lipase enters the small intestine, it breaks down the fats into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fatty acid -oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and therefore, the fatty acid substrate (in the form of fatty acyl-CoA) needs to be transported across the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes that are not permeable to fatty acids or fatty acyl-CoAs with a hydrocarbon chain longer than 12 carbons.
