CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

1. C

-In the stomach, gastric lipase starts to break down triacylglycerols into diglycerides and fatty acids.
Within two to four hours after eating a meal, roughly 30 percent of the triacylglycerols are converted to
diglycerides and fatty acids.

2. B

-Amylase is responsible for the breaking of the bonds in starches, polysaccharides, and complex
carbohydrates into easier to absorb simple sugars.

3. C

-Carboxypeptidase is an enzyme synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine. This
enzyme hydrolyzes the first peptide or amide bond at the carboxyl or C-terminal end of proteins and
peptides.

4. A

- letter A is the correct answe it's all about enzyme.

5. E
