- BPancreas
- CLiver
- DHeart
- ENone of the above/More than one of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Pancreas
Explanation
Lipase digests fats (triglycerides) into fatty acids and glycerol (monoglycerides). The main source is the pancreas, through pancreatic juice; small amounts also come from the stomach and the tongue.
The liver makes bile, which has no enzyme but breaks fat into small droplets (emulsification) so lipase can work.
