What else can I help you with?
What breaks apart triglycerides so they can be taken up by the cell?
Triglycerides are broken down by an enzyme called lipase, which hydrolyzes the ester bonds in triglycerides to release fatty acids and glycerol. This breakdown process occurs in the small intestine and is essential for the absorption of fats by the intestinal cells.
What happens to chyme in the small intestine?
chemical digestions breaks the food apart
The digestion of triglycerides in the small intestine is catalyzed by?
The digestion of triglycerides in the small intestine is catalyzed by the hormone CCK (Cholecystokinin) which stimulates the gallbladder to secret bile. The bile emulsifies the triglycerides.
Fluid which breaks down fats in the small intestine?
Fats aren't broken down in the small intestine :/
What in the small intestine breaks down maltose?
maltase
How does the small intestine benefit your bodies?
the small intestine benefits the body because it breaks down the food even more......:)
Small intestine and what breaks food into chemicals that the body can use?
no
Where in the alimentary canal does lipase act?
Lipase primarily acts in the small intestine, where it plays a crucial role in the digestion of fats. While a small amount of lipase is produced in the mouth (salivary lipase) and stomach (gastric lipase), the majority of fat digestion occurs in the small intestine, where pancreatic lipase is secreted. This enzyme breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, facilitating their absorption by the intestinal lining.
What is the type of digestion that breaks down food into molecules that can be absorbed?
small intestine
How are lipids digested in monogastric animals?
In monogastric animals, lipids are primarily digested in the small intestine. The process begins in the stomach, where gastric lipase initiates the breakdown of triglycerides. Once in the small intestine, bile salts emulsify fats, increasing their surface area, and pancreatic lipase further hydrolyzes triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. These products are then absorbed by the intestinal cells and reassembled into triglycerides for transport in lipoproteins.
What releases enzymes into small intestine?
Amylase, which breaks down starches into monosaccharides, trypsin, which breaks down proteins, and lipase, which breaks down fat.
Where does lipase break down glycerole?
Lipase does not break down glycerol; instead, it breaks down triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. This enzymatic action primarily occurs in the small intestine, where dietary fats are emulsified by bile and then acted upon by pancreatic lipase. Glycerol, once released from triglycerides, can be absorbed by the intestinal cells and utilized for energy or converted into glucose.
