Amylase (a carbohydrase) and protease are two enzymes involved in digestion.What is the name of the third enzyme covered in the nugget?

The third enzyme covered in the nugget is lipase.

Lipase plays a crucial role in the digestion of lipids (fats). It breaks down triglycerides, which are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat. The enzyme works by hydrolyzing the ester bonds in triglycerides, resulting in free fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed by the intestinal cells. This process is essential for nutrient absorption and is particularly important in a diet that includes substantial amounts of fats. While amylase initiates the digestion of carbohydrates and protease targets proteins, lipase is vital for effectively managing dietary fats.
