- How does the digestion and absorption of fat differ from that of carbohydrates? Absorbed fat first enters the lymphatic system, whereas carbohydrates directly enter the blood. Fat absorption occurs in the stomach, whereas carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine. Only fat must be worked on by bacteria in the large intestine before it can be absorbed. Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not. Processing of fat does not require any digestive enzymes, whereas the processing of carbohydrates does.arrow_forwardWhere are most fat-digesting enzymes produced?a. small intestineb. gallbladderc. liverd. pancreasarrow_forwardWhich of the following is not one of the major functions of the liver? produce bile salts to emulsify fats break down old red blood cells produce blood plasma proteins like albumin and fibrinogen maintain blood glucose levels through the release of insulin and glucagon produce urea from amino acids and ammoniaarrow_forward
