Final answer:

The majority of fat digestion takes place in the small intestine, facilitated by bile and pancreatic lipase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The majority of fat digestion takes place in the small intestine. Lipids arrive in the intestine largely undigested, so much of the focus here is on lipid digestion, which is facilitated by bile and the enzyme pancreatic lipase.
