Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Digestion of fats occurs in the small intestine. Fats are digested into fatty acids and glycerol by an enzyme called lipase . Bile juice is secreted by the liver which helps in the emulsification of fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -While some fat digestion happens in the stomach, most of this process occurs in the intestines. The next step in fat digestion happens when gastric lipase in the stomach further breaks down fats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your small intestine makes digestive juice, which mixes with bile and pancreatic juice to complete the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Bacteria in your small intestine make some of the enzymes you need to digest carbohydrates.
