Answer to Question 1

Chemical digestion of fats occurs mainly in the small intestine. Fats are not digested in the mouth. Fats are digested only slightly in the stomach. Fats must mix well with the gastric juices before entering the small intestine. Bile emulsifies the fats and pancreatic lipase, an enzyme, reduces them to fatty acids and glycerol, which the body absorbs through the villi.

Answer to Question 2
