Lipids ARE basically fat. which are broken down by enzymes to tun into glucose aka energy fr the body
above statement not fully correct thus this shall be suffice:
Lipids are fats (which is correct) and they are broken down into free fatty acids by specific enzymes called Lipases. after being broken down into these small enough molecules it can then be absorbed into our blood plasma within the 'ileum' of the small intestine via the 'villi' (the finger like projectiles in which absorbs nutrients such as broken down molecules of fat further via the capillaries and arteries) However in saying so, the broken down fat molecules requires a specific absorbtion system called the 'Lymphatic system'- the fats after being initilally absorbed into the villi, it then specifically is further abosorbed by the 'Lactel' which is located in the middle of a single villi.
Furthermore, in short hand, Lipids are fats, and they break down into small enough molecules of 'free fatty acids' through the process of chemical diegstion (in this particular digestion of this nutrient this occurs within the small intestine -the duodenum to be exact) by specific enzymes of lipases.

What macromolecules do enzymes break down in lipase?
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
Does an enzyme break down fat?
Lipase enzymes digest fats (otherwise known as 'lipids'). Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Why does hydrolysis break down lipids?
The mechanism of the hydrolysis of lipid is known as catabolism of the lipids. This is a process through which lipids are digested and broken down to one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids.
Why can't lipase break down starch?
Lipase can't break down maltose because it is meant to break down lipids. Maltose is a form of a carboydrate, which is broken down by maltase.
What is the Product of lipids?
a protein
Where are lipids broken down?
Lipids are broken down by lipase from the pancreas, located above the Intestines and below the stomach.
What are lipids broken down into the digestive sysytem?
it is broken down by the body i think
What is a lipids role in nutrition?
Lipids are fats broken down by digestion.
What can't be broken down by stomach acid?
lipids

Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
Does an enzyme break down fat?
Lipase enzymes digest fats (otherwise known as 'lipids'). Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Which is not a food material normally used broken down to yield energy carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids?
lipids
Lipids are digested into what end products?
Monosaccharides.
Why does hydrolysis break down lipids?
The mechanism of the hydrolysis of lipid is known as catabolism of the lipids. This is a process through which lipids are digested and broken down to one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids.
What type of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
What reaction synthesizes lipids?
Lipids are synthesized by the chemical reaction condensation, and are broken down by the reaction hydrolysis.
Carbohydrates lipids and proteins are types of carbon compound that are broken down to produce what?
Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are types of carbon compound that are broken to produce simple molecules like carbon-dioxide and water.
