What is coppers chemical family name?
what is coppers chemical family
What is the balanced chemical equation for lipase?
Lipase is NOT a specific biochemical reaction. It is an enzyme catalyzing the enzymatic breakdown (hydrolysis) of fats (lipids). triglyceride (fat) + water --> 3 fatty acids + glycerol
What does lipase catalyze?
Lipase catalyzes the break down of lipids.
What is the reactant for lipase?
lipases
What is the difference between amalyase and lipase?
They are enzymes in the body, amylase breaks down sugars and lipase breaks down fats.
Is pepsin and lipase a chemical reaction?
Pepsin and lipase are chemical compounds, not reactions.
Is an lipase a mechanical chemical digestion or both?
niether
What is the chemical formula of lipase enzyme?
Many lipases exist, each with a different formula ! Please wrtite the complet and correct name of your lipase.
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.
What is a non enzyme chemical that breaks down fat?
lipase and Bile produced from Gullbladder
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.
Is lipase acidic?
yes lipase is acidic
Is lipase exo- or endoenzymes?
Lipase is an exoenzyme
What is coppers chemical family name?
what is coppers chemical family
What is co-lipase?
The co-lipase is a protein co-enzyme that is needed for the optimal enzyme activity of the pancreatic lipase.
What is the balanced chemical equation for lipase?
Lipase is NOT a specific biochemical reaction. It is an enzyme catalyzing the enzymatic breakdown (hydrolysis) of fats (lipids). triglyceride (fat) + water --> 3 fatty acids + glycerol
What do lipase act on?
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids
