Is pancreatic lipase an emulsifier?
No, pancreatic lipase is not an emulsifier, but an enzyme that digests lipids. To have an optimal digestion, it needs a colipase (also pancreatic) + previous emulsification of the lipids by mecanical and chemical (biliary salts) mecanisms. Lipase transforms TG into MG and free fats, which are then absorbed by the enterocytes.
Where can lipase's be found?
Lipase may be found in a woman's breast milk. Lipase is an enzyme and is released by the pancreas and them goes into the small intestine.
Lipase optimum pH?
A lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats. Its optimum pH varies depending on the type of lipase. Pancreatic lipase has an optimum pH of 8.0 while stomach lipase ranges from 4.0 to 5.0.
The pancreatic enzyme that works on fat is?
lipase
What is a enzyme found in pancreatic juices?
An enzyme found in pancreatic juices is amylase, trypsin, and lipase.
What is fat digestion accomplished by?
pancreatic lipase
What part of the pancreatic is responsible for majority of fat digestion?
lipase enzyme
Name three organs where lipid digestion occurs?
Mouth, stomach, small intestineActually, lipid digestion only occurs in the small intestine. It does not occur anywhere else in the digestive tract.The enzyme which digests lipid is lipase. There are three types of lipase; lingual, gastric, and pancreatic. lingual is found in the mouth, gastric is found in the stomach, and pancreatic is found in the pancreas. While most of this lipid is digested in the small intestine, digestion occurs in other areas as well. The previous answer is correct; digestion of lipids occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.

What enzyme in the pancreatic solution accomplished the digestion of fats?
The Pancreae is the organ prducing three enzymes, amylase,protease and lipase. Pancreatic lipase breaks down large fat molecules contaning one glycerol and three fatty acids to small digested molecules. Simple answer to your question: Pancreatic Lipase :D
Is pancreatic lipase mechanical or chemical digestion?
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
Does lipase come from animals?
Lipase is produced in the pancreas as well as is present in the intestinal juice of human.
What breaks up fat during digestion?
Various lipases break up fat. Some produced by the tongue (lingual lipase), a little lipase by the stomach but most by the pancreas (pancreatic lipase). Bile helps to break down fat into little pieces so that the lipases in the small intestine have more surface area to work on.
Is pancreatic lipase a secretion of the stomach?
Pancreatic lipase (or steapsin) is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas and it acts in the small intestine. Working best at a pH level of 8, it breaks lipid molecules into glycerol and fatty acids.
Where is lipase synthesized?
Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down food during digestion. No, lipase is not produced in the liver. It is produced in the pancreas.
Why are lipase that are found in saliva and in the stomach not very effective at digestion?
because triglycerides are hydrophobic
What enzyme does the majority of digesting lipids?
Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats some digestion occurs that allows lipase a fat -digesting pancreatic enzyme to aid in digestion.
