Which statement about lipid digestion is FALSE? Gastric lipase is responsible for only a small amount of fat digestion. When fat enters the small intestine, it triggers the release of CCK and bile. Lingual lipase plays an active role in fat digestion in infants. Bile is a digestive enzyme that acts as an emulsifier. Pancreatic lipase removes each of a triglyceride's fatty acids, leaving a monoglyceride.
