Did yоu wаtch the videо befоre hitting the Tаke the Quiz? Good job!! Otherwise, you cаn watch this one more time (you have enough time) and answer the following question. Fats are easy to absorb but difficult to digest! Fats are an important part of our diet, but they are more difficult to digest than carbohydrates or proteins. This is because fats do not mix well with [water], which makes it harder for digestive enzymes to break them down. To help with this, the liver releases a substance called [bile], which works like a detergent to break up large fat globules into smaller droplets. This process is called [emulcification]. Once the fats are broken into smaller pieces, an enzyme called pancreatic lipase can digest them into [fatty-acids] and monoglycerides. Fats are easy to be absorbed due to the lipid-soluble nature of the cell [membrane], which allows them to pass through the small intestine easily. Inside the cells, they are packaged into special carriers called chylomicrons, which move into the lymphatic system called [lacteal] instead of going directly into the bloodstream.
