What enzyme breaks down oils?
Lipases are the enzymes that cleave fats. Fats are known scientifically as lipids, so the enzyme responsible for its break-down is called lipase.
What does lipase digest?
bile from the liver helps digest lipids in the small intestines.
Does an enzyme break down fat?

Where is the enzyme screted and what does it digest fats into?
the enzyme that is secreted is lipase. lipase is secreted in the pancreas where it is moved into the duodenum through the common bile duct. lipase is also secreted by the intestinal walls of the small intestine.there are funger like projections called villi. between 2 villi there are glandular pits where the succus entericus is secreted.lipase is in the succus entericus along with other enzymes. lipase converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Which type of enzymes digest fats and what does it digest fats into?
lipase and it turns into fatty acids
What releases lipase?
The pancreas releases lipase, which helps digest fats in the small intestine
Is lipase released by the gallbladder?

What does lipase digest fats into?

it's in the glands of the small intestine and in the glands of the pancreas which are the mammary gland or the pancreatic gland
What enzyme breaks down oils?
