Fat digestion yields fatty acids and glycerol, whereas protein digestion yields amino acids; both digestive processes ________. are catalyzed by enzymes produced in the pancreas are intracellular processes in all organisms require the presence of hydrochloric acid to lower the pH are catalyzed by the same enzyme require adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an energy source

Answer 1

use water molecules when breaking bonds (hydrolysis)

Step-by-step explanation:

Virtually all lipids in foods are in the form of triacylglycerols. As such they are not absorbable. In order to be absorbed through the intestinal epithelium, the triacylglycerols have to hydrolyze to fatty acids. Hydrolysis has a physical-chemical requirement: triacylglycerols, which are themselves fat-soluble compounds, must be solubilized. For this they are incorporated into micelles together with bile salts. Bile salts are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol, accumulating in the gallbladder, since they are secreted.

A protein can be hydrolyzed, either in the presence of a strong acid or base, or enzymatically. In this reaction, a water molecule is introduced, which breaks the peptide bond to produce the amino acids that make it up.
