Question

Lipases are enzymes that breakdown ________. disaccharides lipids proteins cellulose

Answer 1

Answer:

lipids

Explanation:

Lipase is a type of enzyme that occurs naturally in the digestive system and is responsible for breaking down lipids in foods.  The action of lipases in digestion is similar to that of “enzymatic detergents”, converting oils and fats into smaller molecules capable of being absorbed by the body. This catalytic capability is attractive to the cleaning industry because the same process occurs in removing grease from surfaces and fabrics.  

These enzymes are obtained by fungal microorganisms in triglyceride media for the development of filamentous fungal colonies. Lipases were initially used in laundry detergents with difficult removal of oils and fats at low temperatures, and the first microorganism in which extraction was done was the fungus Humicola lanuginosa.
