What breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipase is the enzyme that targets lipid molecules.
What breaks down fat?
Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.
What macromolecules do enzymes break down in lipase?
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
What do lipase act on?
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids
What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase

What breaks down fat?
Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.
What chemical family is lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks lipid molecules down into a glycerol molecule and fatty acids. It is a protein.
How lipid digested?
Another work for Lipid is "Fat". Fat does not dissolve in water-so they are not easily broken down by lipase in the watery content of the gastrointestinal tract.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of food?
It varies for all the food groups. For fat/lipid lipase breaks down,for proteins pepsin breaks down and for carbohydrates amylase.
What food types are broken down by these enzymes lipase?
Lipase breaks down dietary fats.
What macromolecules do enzymes break down in lipase?
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
What do lipase act on?
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids
Is bile produced in the liver and assists lipase in breaking down fats by first emulsifying it or dispersing the fats into droplets?
Yes, Bile is produced from the liver.
What food nutrients digested partly in the mouth?
Amylase breaks down starch into dextrin and maltose. Lingual lipase, it doesnt really do much as majority of lipid breakdown occurs after pancreas secretes its bile.
What is the difference between amalyase and lipase?
They are enzymes in the body, amylase breaks down sugars and lipase breaks down fats.
What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
