Hydrolysis of a lipid
#image is down
The image shows how one molecule of lipid - triglyceride - is hydrolysed (digested) to give 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acid (stearic acid) 3 molecules of water are needed to add -H and -OH groups to break the ester bonds, an action which is catalysed by the enzyme lipase.
