Digestion and Absorption Question 63
63. Most of the fat digestion occurs in
(a) Rectum
(b) Stomach
(c) Duodenum
(d) Small intestine
Show Answer
Answer : d
Hints & Solution
(d) Although traces of fat digesting enzyme (gastric lipase) have been reported but due to its very little concentration, it is unable to start fat digestion in stomach. Fat digestion starts in duodenum with the help of bile salts & pancreatic juice but completes in small intestine.
