What else can I help you with?
Where are lipids first digested?
by bile in the stomach then by lipase by bile in the stomach then by lipase
Is pepsin and lipase a chemical reaction?
No, pepsin and lipase are enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. Pepsin helps break down proteins into peptides, while lipase aids in the breakdown of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
What does lipase break down?
Pepsin is found in the stomach, and breaks down long-chain proteins into shorter amino acids, whilst lipase is secreted into the duodenum by the pancreas to break down fats into their constituent parts: fatty acids and glycerol.
What do lipase act on?
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids
Why arn't lipase and amylase secreted into the stomach with pepsin?
Lipase and amylase require an alkaline environment such as what is found in the duodenum of the small intestine. Pepsin functions in the acidic environment of the stomach.
What is digestiv hormone a- lipase b-pepsin c- amylase d- gastrin?
Lypase,Pepsin and Amylase are enzymes.Gastrin is a hormone.
What macromolecules do enzymes break down in lipase?
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
What are some examples of proteinsz?
1-keratin 2-renin 3-pepsin 4-pencreatin 5-panceatin lipase 1-keratin 2-renin 3-pepsin 4-pencreatin 5-panceatin lipase
What does lipase digest?
Lipase digests fats (lipids) by breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol. This enzyme is produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats from the diet.
What are the enzymes in a cell that help to break material down in a cell?
those enzymes would be in the lysosomes of the cell they would be things like amylase (breaks starch down) and pepsin (amino acids) and things like lipase (lipids)
What is the role of amylase pepsin and lipase in the digestionof food?
Amylase, pepsin, and lipase are enzymes that play crucial roles in the digestion of food. Amylase, found in saliva and the pancreas, breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Pepsin, active in the acidic environment of the stomach, digests proteins into smaller peptides. Lipase, primarily produced by the pancreas, is responsible for breaking down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, facilitating their absorption in the intestines.
