Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipoprotein lipase is an enzyme found on the surface of adipose cells that hydrolyzes the triglycerides in chylomicrons into free fatty acids and glycerol, allowing for fat to be taken up by the adipose cells for storage. Pancreatic lipase and lingual lipase are enzymes involved in the digestion of fats, but they do not directly play a role in the storage of fat in adipose cells. Bile is a substance produced by the liver that aids in the digestion and absorption of fats, but it does not directly interact with adipose cells.
