What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
Which enzyme digests starches?
Amylase is the enzyme that digests starch.
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
If the pancreatic lipase seeped into the stomach could the digestion of animal fat begin there?
Pancreatic lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas to break down fats. If it seeped into the stomach, it would not be as effective in digesting animal fat as the stomach's acidic environment is not conducive to lipase activity. Lipase works best in the small intestine where the pH is optimal for its function.
Identify the one substance which is not a carbohydrate.?
A fat is not a carbohydrate.
What enzyme does the majority of digesting lipids?
Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats some digestion occurs that allows lipase a fat -digesting pancreatic enzyme to aid in digestion.
Is bile an enzyme specifically used for the chemical breakdown of fat?
Bile is not an enzyme, but an emulsifying agent. It physically breaks down fat into smaller molecules, providing a greater surface area for the work of fat-digesting enzymes.
Where in a plant cell is the cellulose digesting enzyme?
the mitochondria

Is subtilisin polar or nonpolar?

How do use enzyme in a sentence?
Since enzyme is a noun, it can be the subject or object in a sentence. Here is an example of the noun "enzyme" being used: Mary lacked the enzyme for digesting lactose which is the sugar in milk.
Do lipase enzymes break down maltose?
No. Lipase is a fat digesting enzyme that hydrolyses fats into fatty acids and glycerol, while maltose is a carbohydrate (a bisaccharide) in nature. It consists of two glucose molecules.
Does bile contain fat digesting enzymes?
Yes.
What is the name of the protein-digesting hormone found in the stomach?
It is called Peptase, but it is NOT a hormone it is an ENZYME.
Why isn't your pancreas absorbing fat?
Just a thought about digesting fatty foods. Many times we are low on digestive enzymes and when the gallbladder is removed, a person would be lacking the digestive enzyme for fat. If you are having trouble digesting fat or have other digestive problems, you may want to look at a broad spectrum digestive enzyme supplement or you can be more specific and get one for digesting fat. Also a good idea to make sure you eating getting enough of your Vit B's and minerals, so you your body has a chance to make it's own enzymes. The good thing about lc'ing is that many folks have the experience that their digestive problems clear up. Just remember everyone is different and responds differently to diet (nutrition changes) and supplementation.
