Why lipase can't produce starch?
Lipase is an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats and lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. It does not have the structural capacity to act on carbohydrates like starch, which is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units. The enzymes that break down starch are amylases, which cleave the glycosidic bonds in starch molecules, a function distinct from that of lipase. Therefore, lipase cannot produce starch because it does not act on carbohydrate substrates.
What macromolecules do enzymes break down in lipase?
Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
What enzymes break down glucose?
glucase
What enzymes break down lipids?
Lipase breaks down lipids (fats) LIPASES
Is lipase exo- or endoenzymes?
Lipase is an exoenzyme, which means it acts outside the cell that produces it. It functions to break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol.
What do amylase trypsin and lipase break down?
Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol

Lipids are broken down by the enzyme Lipase.
What specific macromolecule is bile used to break down during digestion?
Bile is used to break down lipase during digestion.
What enzymes break down glucose?
glucase
What is a class or group of enzymes that break down carbohydrates?
Carbohydrase breaks down starch-Amylase breaks down glucose into fructose (sweeter; useful for diabetics)-Isomerase breaks down proteins-Protease breaks down fats-Lipase
What is role of lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.
Does saliva contain lipase?
Yes, saliva does contain a small amount of lipase enzyme that helps to break down fats in the mouth during digestion. However, the majority of fat digestion occurs in the small intestine where more lipase enzymes are present.
What is the pancreas juice called?
There are different types of carbohydrate - maltose, fructose, starch... but the general name given to enzymes which break-down carbohydrates is "carbohydrase".
Where is lipase synthesized?
Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down food during digestion. No, lipase is not produced in the liver. It is produced in the pancreas.
Can you digest starch?
Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
What are the enzymes in a cell that help to break material down in a cell?
those enzymes would be in the lysosomes of the cell they would be things like amylase (breaks starch down) and pepsin (amino acids) and things like lipase (lipids)
