Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipase activity in the large intestine does not contribute significantly to triglyceride digestion. Most triglyceride digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine through the action of various lipases and is aided by bile acids in the small intestine. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and does not play a significant role in fat digestion.
