fatty acid in position no 2 is a

Monoglycerol and the body absorbs it like
that.

Digestion of fat begins in the mouth where lingual

lipase breaks down the short chain lipids in to
diglycerides
Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

Fats are mainly broken down in the small intestine , when fat is
presented there the intestines produce hormone that stimulate the
release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and ( bile acid from Fat Digestion
the liver Unsaturated

That helps in the emuslification of fats for the absorbtion of

fatty acids . Complete digestion of a molicule of fat ( a
triglyceride) results in 3 fatty acid molicules and one glycerol
molicule.
