Lipase enzyme acts upon fat
Explanation:
Lipase is a crucial enzyme that acts on dietary fat by breaking it into small molecules of fatty acid and glycerol.
The gastric lipase is secreted by the cells in stomach that mainly digest the dietary butter in the body.
Lipase is also produced by pancreas and called as pancreatic lipase which acts in small intestine.
Digestion of fat is important as the large molecules of fat breaks down into small fragment of fatty acid which ultimately provide energy to the body.
The fatty acid and glycerol travel to different parts of body like blood,lymph vessels etc.
