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 are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
Are lipids organic or inorganics?
Lipids are organic molecules that are naturally occurring and they are insoluble in water.
Which two organic molecules make up the cell membrane?
lipids and proteins
What are the smaller molecules made when protein carbohydrate and protein are digested?
Protein is digested to form amino acids. Lipids are digested to fatty acids. Carbohydrates are digested to glucose and other simple sugars.

In what organ are lipids first digested?
Lipids, or fats, are digested in the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine.
What type of organic molecules require the action of emulsifiers to be digested?
Lipids: fats from animals & oils from plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature.
The absorption of which type of nutrient would be affected if the liver no longer produced bile?
Lipids, which are emulsified by bile to make it easier for the molecules to be digested by enzymes.
Are lipids digested in the small intestine?
Yes.
When do the lipids begin to be digested?
Digestion begins the instant you swallowed the food you just chewed up. Maybe not the instant but it begins when the food reaches your stomach.
Which organic molecule is digested into simple sugar?
lipids

Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What enzyme digests lipids?
Lipids are digested by lipases.A lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of a lipid (triglyceride) molecule into one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid.
