An enzyme is a complex protein that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
as an enzyme
The enzyme that causes the chemical breakdown of a substance is called a catalyst. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. This process allows the substance to be broken down into smaller components more efficiently.
The organelle likely lacking the proper enzyme for lipid breakdown is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that are essential for breaking down lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. If these enzymes are deficient or malfunctioning, the lysosome cannot effectively degrade lipids, leading to their accumulation and potential cellular dysfunction. Disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease illustrate the consequences of such enzyme deficiencies in lysosomes.
Enzyme
Lipase catalyzes the break down of 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.
Enzymes are catalysts.

biological catalysts
Enzyme
Enzyme or catalyst
Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions without being consumed or altered in the process. They do this by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur. Lipids, on the other hand, do not act as catalysts for chemical reactions and do not cause molecules to change without themselves undergoing changes.
Catalyst work in non living things while enzyme work inside living things. They are not catalyst but instead they can be called biocatalysts. Hope it helps.
