Which statements are correct?
A
Amylase enzymes break down starch into sugar
B
Digestive Enzymes comes from food and helps to digest food
C
Cellulase is a type of Digestive Enzymes
D
Lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution: Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down the lipids present in the form of emulsified fat and converts them into fatty acids and glycerol. Was this answer helpful?

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: -Lipase converts emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipolysis is the breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids, making them easier for the body to process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Once the stomach contents have been emulsified, fat-breaking enzymes work on the triglycerides and diglycerides to sever fatty acids from their glycerol foundations. As pancreatic lipase enters the small intestine, it breaks down the fats into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
