Ques. 1AIPMT 2004

The enzyme which hydrolyses triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol is called

  1. maltase
  2. lipase
  3. zymase
  4. pepsin

Answer

(2) lipase

Solution

Triglycerides (fats and oils) are esters of glycerol with fatty acids.

⇒ Their hydrolysis is catalysed by lipase:

Triglyceride + 3H2O Lipase Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids

∵ Maltase hydrolyses maltose, zymase converts glucose into ethanol and CO2, and pepsin hydrolyses proteins.

∴ The enzyme is lipase.
