                                Approximately 95% of dietary fats are triglycerides, and their breakdown is essential for absorption. This process is carried out by the enzyme lipase, which hydrolyses lipids into smaller, more manageable molecules. This article explores the specifics of what lipase hydrolyses lipids into and the biological importance of this chemical reaction.
