Where does lipase digest fat?

Answer 1

fats

Answer 2

Lipases are a class of enzymes with various catalytic abilities that can catalyze the hydrolysis, alcoholysis, esterification, transesterification of triacylglycerides and other water insoluble esters, and can catalyze the reverse synthesis of esters. It also shows the activity of other enzymes, such as phospholipase, lysophospholipase, cholesterol esterase, and acyl-peptidase. The different activities of lipase depends on the characteristics of the reaction system, such as ester hydrolysis in the oil-water interface, and enzymatic synthesis and transesterification in the organic phase. You can learn more information at the Creative Enzymes Website.

Answer 3

LIPASE The digestive tract produces a variety of chemicals designed to assist in and speed up digestion, which are collectively called digestive enzymes. Lipases are the fat-digesting enzymes and come largely from the pancreas, which secretes lipases into the small intestine, explains Dr. Lauralee Sherwood in her book "Human Physiology." Pancreatic lipases typically break the nutrient fats you eat --- called triglycerides --- into a unit consisting of glycerol and a single fatty acid, plus two free fatty acids. These move across the lining of the intestine, and are then reassembled into a triglyceride.

Answer 4

Another work for Lipid is "Fat". Fat does not dissolve in water-so they are not easily broken down by lipase in the watery content of the gastrointestinal tract.

Answer 5

Lipids are broken down by the enzyme lipase into glycerol and fatty acids.

Answer 6

Lipase is not a single enzyme, but a group of enzymes. They break down lipids, which can be fats, e.g. lipase breaks down a triglyceride into fatty acids and glycerol.

Answer 7

Lipids are enzymes which break down fats to glycerol and fatty acids.
