    Question: ______ contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.

    Options:

    The large intestine
    The small intestine
    The stomach
    Saliva

    The correct answer is Saliva.

    🔑Key Points:
    -Saliva contains an enzyme called Lingual Lipase, which helps in breaking down fats.
    -Our saliva plays a significant role in our digestive system.
    -It also contains enzymes like Amylase and Isozyme.
    -Amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which can be absorbed more easily by our body.

    🔴Additional Information:
    -Saliva is an aqueous fluid found in the oral cavity playing a fundamental role in the preservation and maintenance of oral health. Saliva acts in relation to taste, mastication, bolus formation, enzymatic digestion, and swallowing.
    -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies.
    -These are some important enzymes needed for our digestion
    -Amylase: Produced by mouth (saliva).
    -Pepsin: Produced by stomach.
    -Trypsin: Produced by pancreas.
    -Pancreatic Lipase: Produced by pancreas.
    -Deoxyribonuclease and Ribonuclease: Produced by pancreas.
