1 A student wanted to investigate the digestion of fat in the human alimentary canal.

He used some white milk as the source of fat, an enzyme solution, an indicator solution, some bile
salt solution and water.

The indicator he used is pink in alkaline conditions and colourless in acidic conditions.

The enzyme digests the fat in the milk to give fatty acids and glycerol.

(a) Suggest which enzyme he used in this investigation.

He set up 3 test-tubes, A, B, and C.

He added 10 cm3 of milk and 5 drops of indicator solution to each test-tube.

He placed the 3 test-tubes in a water bath for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, 1 cm3 of enzyme solution was added to each of test-tubes A and B. 1 cm3 of
water was added to test-tube C.

1 cm3 bile salt solution was added to test-tube B and 1 cm3 water to each of test-tubes A and C.
