Any help would be appreciated.

4-1: How is lipase activity measured in the simulation?

4-2: Can you determine if hydrolysis occurred in tube 5? Why or why not?

4-3: Would pancreatic lipase be active in the mouth? Why or why not?

4-4: Describe the physical separation of fats by bile salts?

4-5: Which tube had the highest lipase activity? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Discuss possible reasons why it may or may not have matched.

The correct prediction is Tube #1, pH 7.0, which approximates the pH of the small intestine.

Since the activity of pancreatic lipase is highest at pH 7.0, the enzyme should be active in the mouth and the pancreas.
