What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
What is a microbial lipase?
microbial lipase is an enzyme produced by micro-organisms ,which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.
Does an enzyme break down fat?
Lipase enzymes digest fats (otherwise known as 'lipids'). Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
What do plants store in its tissues and breaks them down when it needs energy?
Carbohydrates, proteins and fatty acids
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
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 individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
Which is the digestive juice that only acts on proteins?
lipase breaks down fat into glycerol and fatty acids
What do amylase trypsin and lipase break down?
Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol
What is a microbial lipase?
microbial lipase is an enzyme produced by micro-organisms ,which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol
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.
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.
What does fat break down into for the body?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Does intestinal juice contain enzymes?
Yes. The enzymes are: - maltase which breaks down maltose to glucose; - lactase which breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose - erepsin which breaks down peptones to amino acids - lipase which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol. :D
What is produced when fat you broken down by lipase?
Fatty acids and glycerol
How are fat broken down?
Fats are broken down by the body into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken down to glucose to provide the body with energy.
