Question

Lipase acts on
 (1) Amino acid
(2) Carbohydrates
(3) Fats
(4) Protein

Answer 1

Hint: Lipase is a pancreatic enzyme that aids in the digestion of dietary lipids. This test determines how much lipase is present in the blood. The pancreas is a six-inch-long, narrow, flat organ found deep within the abdominal cavity, beneath the liver and between the stomach and the spine.

Complete answer:
Your digestive system breaks down the nutrients you eat, transforming them into small molecules that your cells, tissues, and organs need for fuel and hundreds of other metabolic activities. This intricate process, which yields simple sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, and amino acids, takes hours to complete. Following the chewing of food into minute pieces, specialist enzymes produced in various areas of your digestive tract operate on it to complete the process.
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down dietary fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which are smaller molecules. The cells in your stomach produce a small amount of lipase called gastric lipase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down butter fat in your food.
The pancreas, which produces pancreatic lipase that operates in the small intestine, is the principal source of lipase in your digestive tract. First, dietary fat is converted into little fatty globules by bile produced in your liver and discharged into your intestine.

So the correct answer is option 3.

Note: Pancreatic lipase, also known as steapsin, breaks down fat globules into fatty acids and glycerol, which are small, energy-dense molecules that are needed by all of your cells. Fatty acids and glycerol flow via your bloodstream and lymphatic vessels to all parts of your body.
