Question
Chapter 11.9, Problem 2MI
Summary Introduction
The enzyme lipase is responsible for catabolism of lipids and fatty acids, which are utilized by the cells as their carbon and energy source. The glycerol is obtained by the breaking of the triglyceride by the lipase enzyme. Later, the glycerol is modified to enter into the Embden-Meyerhof pathway.
