Question
fats are digested in the ______.
a stomach
b liver
c pancreas
d small intestine
Brief Explanations
Fat digestion mainly occurs in the small intestine. Bile from the liver emulsifies fats, and pancreatic lipase (from the pancreas) and intestinal enzymes break them down here. The stomach has little fat digestion, the liver produces bile (not the main digestion site), and the pancreas secretes enzymes (not the digestion site). So the correct site is the small intestine.
