How does the digestion and absorption of fat differ from that of carbohydrates? Absorbed fat first enters the lymphatic system, whereas carbohydrates directly enter the blood. Fat absorption occurs in the stomach, whereas carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine. Only fat must be worked on by bacteria in the large intestine before it can be absorbed. Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not. Processing of fat does not require any digestive enzymes, whereas the processing of carbohydrates does.
