It is known as lipolysis. This is the process where water is used to divide the bond between the glycerol and fatty acids. Once lipolysis has occurred, water may be taken out to bond them together again to form a new triglyceride.

Where does hydrolysis of triglyceride occur in our body?

Hydrolysis of triglycerides occurs primarily in the small intestine through the action of pancreatic lipase enzymes. These enzymes break down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed by the intestinal cells for energy production or storage.


What hydrolysis test would a positive test result be expected for the etiologic agent of acne Propionibacterium acnes?

Triglycerides hydrolysis test because this bacterium feeds on fatty acids.


What is the bond broken by lipase?

Lipase breaks the ester bond in triglycerides, leading to the hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.


How does the hydrolysis of esters lead to the formation of soap?

Soap is formed by the hydrolysis of fats by lye, not the hydrolysis of esters. The lye strips the 3 fatty acids from the glycerine in the fats and reacts with the free fatty acids producing soap, this process is called saponification.


When carbohydrates are broken down what is it called?

hydrolysis


Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of what?

Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of fats and oils through a process called hydrolysis. Lipases, enzymes that break down fats, catalyze the conversion of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids.


What are the processes in the water cycle called?

hydrolysis of water


How pure sucrose can be changed into glucose and fructose?

Sucrose can be broken down into glucose and fructose by a process called hydrolysis. This can be achieved by adding water and an enzyme called sucrase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into its component sugars, glucose, and fructose.


What compounds make a fatty acid?

Fatty acids are produced by the hydrolysis of the ester linkages in a fat or biological oil (both of which are triglycerides), with the removal of glycerol. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid


Is it true that in adipose tissue fat molecules form when fatty acid molecules and glycerol join by hydrolysis?

no . three fatty acid molecules and glycerol join by the condensation ( release of 3 water molecules) reactions to produce tri acyl glycerol (fat) as far as hydrolysis is concerned its the process in which water molecule is used up to break down the compound. Mayur parmar rajkot ,(gujarat)


What is the process that uses water to break down a polymer called?

the process that is used to break down water is by passing a electrical current through it ,it is called electrolysis.


Why is it called hydrolysis?

Hydrolysis is the breaking of bonds by adding water. The prefix hydro refers to water. The suffix lysis means breaking.
