The complete digestion of one molecule of fat (a triglyceride) results in three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule.

Answer:

?Which substances are produced by the digestion of an oil?

Lipids (fats and oils)

Lipase enzymes break down fat into fatty acids and glycerol. Digestion of fat in the small intestine is helped by bile, made in the liver. Bile breaks the fat into small droplets that are easier for the lipase enzymes to work on. Bile is not an enzyme.
