Biology
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is: c. small intestine

The digestion of fat mostly occurs in the small intestine, but it can sometimes begin in mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some lipids. Before absorption, fats have to be emulsified (broken down to small droplets) and it is done thanks to pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Monoglycerides and fatty acids associate and form micelles (together with bile salts and phospholipids, vitamins and cholesterol). Micelles are necessary for the transport to the enterocyte, but only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can be absorbed.

A person had bread and butter for his breakfast. Trace the changes in the main components of these during its passage through th
Papessa [141]

When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.
