If you take butter in your food, how does it get digested and absorbed in the body? Explain.

Explanation

(1) Butter is a content of macromolecules and is fat or lipid.
(2) Bile salts of the bile help in breaking down of large fat molecules into very small micelles. This process is called Emulsification . They move into intestinal mucosal cells.
(3) These micelles are reformed into very small protein coated fat globules called chylomicrons which are transported into the lacteals in villi by exocytosis.
(4) Bile also activates lipases of pancreatic juice (steapsin) and intestinal lipases. These lipases act on emulsified fats and convert them into fatty acids and glycerols.
