What do plants store in its tissues and breaks them down when it needs energy?
Carbohydrates, proteins and fatty acids
Which organelle is responsible for break down of fatty acids to sugars?
Whereas the evidence for conversion of sugars to fatty acids is well established in biochemistry, no such evidence for the reverse, i.e. conversion of fatty acids to sugars, is compelling. So, I would say that there is NO organelle known to be responsible for break down of fatty acids to sugars.
What breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipase is the enzyme that targets lipid molecules.
Which cell structure breaks down excess long-chain fatty acids into products that the mitochondria can break down further?
peroxisomes
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
What does lipase break down?
Pepsin is found in the stomach, and breaks down long-chain proteins into shorter amino acids, whilst lipase is secreted into the duodenum by the pancreas to break down fats into their constituent parts: fatty acids and glycerol.

Does intestinal juice contain enzymes?
Yes. The enzymes are: - maltase which breaks down maltose to glucose; - lactase which breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose - erepsin which breaks down peptones to amino acids - lipase which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol. :D

peroxisomes
What do amylase trypsin and lipase break down?
Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol

A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
Which is the digestive juice that only acts on proteins?
lipase breaks down fat into glycerol and fatty acids
What chemical family is lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks lipid molecules down into a glycerol molecule and fatty acids. It is a protein.
What is a microbial lipase?
microbial lipase is an enzyme produced by micro-organisms ,which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol
