Final answer:

The pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and small intestine work in unison to digest fats from food. The correct order is pancreas first, then liver, followed by gallbladder, and finally, the small intestine absorbs the digested fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you eat a fatty cheeseburger, the substances in the burger are broken down and absorbed through the coordinated efforts of several digestive organs. The correct order in which these organs function to digest the fat in the cheeseburger is:

  1. Pancreas: Produces digestive enzymes that are delivered to the small intestine.
  2. Liver: Produces bile that is delivered to the small intestine.
  3. Gallbladder: Stores and concentrates bile, and releases it into the small intestine.
  4. Small intestine: Absorbs the fat into the bloodstream.

Therefore, the answer to this question is A: B (pancreas), A (liver), C (gallbladder), D (small intestines).
