Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lipolysis. To obtain energy from fat, triglycerides must first be broken down by hydrolysis into their two principal components, fatty acids and glycerol. This process, called lipolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The digestive process has to break those large droplets of fat into smaller droplets and then enzymatically digest lipid molecules using enzymes called lipases . The mouth and stomach play a small role in this process, but most enzymatic digestion of lipids happens in the small intestine.
