... Investigation on enzymes I am going to be conducting an investigation on lipase and bile; and the affect they have in fat digestion. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions in living things; and chemically change the substances it is breaking down. They are made of amino acids and made in living cells. The enzyme I will be investigating is Lipase. Lipase is an enzyme that helps in fat digestion by breaking down fat into fatty acids and glycerol. Fat is the substrate of Lipase. Lipase is created in three places, the pancreas, the stomach and the salivary glands. The other substance that helps in fat digestion is bile. Bile is not an enzyme, as it does not chemically change fat, it breaks it down by the process of emulsification. This decreases the surface are of the fat, making the job lipase has to do, much easier. Bile is created in the liver.
