Why are fats easy to absorb?

Fats are easy to absorb because they are broken down into smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol during digestion, primarily in the small intestine. These molecules can easily pass through the intestinal cell membranes due to their lipid-soluble nature. Additionally, fats are often emulsified by bile salts, increasing their surface area and facilitating absorption. Once inside the intestinal cells, fats can be reassembled and transported into the bloodstream efficiently.
