Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does fat digestion begins?
A
colon
B
liver
C
small intestine
D
stomach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fat digestion begins in the mouth where lingual lipase acts on the fat molecules. Activation of trypsinogen to trypsin aids in the protein digestion and not fat digestion. Small intestine acts as a zone where the majority of nutrients are absorbed and sent to different parts of the body via blood.

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. As the stomach contracts, this process intensifies.
