BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipases hydrolyze triglycerides (fats) into their component fatty acid and glycerol molecules. Initial lipase digestion occurs in the lumen (interior) of the small intestine. Bile salts reduce the surface tension of the fat droplets so that the lipases can attack the triglyceride molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction and breaks down ester bonds of lipids and fats and converts into fatty acids, glycerol, and other alcohols (Melani et al., 2020).

Detailed explanation-3: -The substrate of the lipase enzyme is the lipid. The lipase enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of the fatty acids of the triglycerides into smaller subunits that can be dissolved easily and are easily digested.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

Detailed explanation-5: -the substrate is the triglyceride which is the building unit of lipids, and the product is the sub-units of the triglyceride which are the glycerol and the fatty acid.
