Where would you find lipase in your body?

Lipase is produced in the pancreas, then excreted into the duodenum via the pancreatic duct. Once in the small intestine, it can proceed to break down fats.


If the pancreatic lipase seeped into the stomach could the digestion of animal fat begin there?

Pancreatic lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas to break down fats. If it seeped into the stomach, it would not be as effective in digesting animal fat as the stomach's acidic environment is not conducive to lipase activity. Lipase works best in the small intestine where the pH is optimal for its function.


How would expired tributyrin agar affect the result of lipase plus and lipase organisms?

Expired tributyrin agar may lead to decreased pH levels, resulting in a slower breakdown of tributyrin by lipase enzymes and lipase-producing organisms. This could affect the rate of hydrolysis of tributyrin into butyric acid, impacting the ability to accurately assess lipase activity. Additionally, expired agar may also lead to microbial contamination, affecting the growth of specific organisms and potentially skewing the results.


Which types of reactions would lipase normally be catalyzing in?

Lipase enzymes typically catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This reaction is essential for the digestion and absorption of dietary fats in the digestive system.


A drug that decreases peristalsis would be one that?

A drug that decreases peristalsis would likely be an anticholinergic medication, which blocks the action of acetylcholine in the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibition can slow down the contractions of the smooth muscle in the intestines, reducing peristalsis.

Why would lipase be low?

Low lipase levels often point to problems with the pancreas. It can also indicate that the person has cystic fibrosis.

What does it mean to have Low levels of lipase?

Lipase is the enzyme that digests fats and oils (lipids). Low levels of lipase means the body cannot digest lipids. The affected person is most probably underweight, and cannot put on weight easily. Other symptoms are smelly & floating stools and gas.

Would medicine effect amylase and the lipase levels?

What medicines or herbs effect amylase levels.

A protein bonded to a fat would be classified as a lipoprotein. This is a fatty acid binding protein the body can used these molecules as a source of energy.

How many blocks would you have to walk back if you 3 blocks South 5 blocks west and finished by walking 9 blocks east?

17 Blocks altogether


Where would your starting point be if you traveled 2 blocks north 3 blocks east and 2 blocks south?

3 blocks west


How many city blocks would you have to walk back if you walked 9 blocks east then 10 blocks north and then finished by walking 4 blocks west?

You would have to walk 10 blocks south and then 5 blocks west or something like that for example 3 blocks west then 5 blocks south then 2 blocks west then 5 blocks south again but it all adds up to be a total of 15 blocks.
