In case of the fat molecule, you have three long chain fatty acids attached to glycerol molecule. With the help of bile salts the fat is emulsified into very fine particles. So you have very large surface area is available for lipase to act upon the fat particles. Lipase splits the bond between the glycerol and fatty acids.

Where in the body is lipase produced?
Lipase is produced in the Small Intestine and Pancreas.Lipase is produced in the pancreas.
What temperature does lipase work best at?
Optimal temperature for Lipase is 37 degrees.
What is the role of lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.
Where would you find lipase in your body?
Lipase is produced in the pancreas, then excreted into the duodenum via the pancreatic duct. Once in the small intestine, it can proceed to break down fats.
Why lipase breaks down fat into fatty acid only works well at temperatures close to body temperature?
Because if enzymes are exposed to very high temperature they get damaged and don't work properly but they also need pretty high temperature to work to their maximum quickness. Body temperature is PERFECT!

Lipase is an enzyme that the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.
What subunit does lipase form?
Lipase will form amino acid subunits. This is because lipase is an enzyme, and enzymes within the body are made from protein.
What is the role of lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.
What is the difference between amalyase and lipase?
They are enzymes in the body, amylase breaks down sugars and lipase breaks down fats.
What human body system is lipase used in?
it is used in the satr
What are the 3 adaptations of the body which insure digestion of fats?
lipase,maltase and peptidase
