Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Lipase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion and processing of dietary fats. It is produced by the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine, where it breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase is also present in other parts of the body, including the liver, adipose tissue, and mammary glands, where it helps to mobilize and metabolize stored fat. Lipase is a type of hydrolase enzyme that works by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipids, releasing energy for use by the body.
