    Lipase enzyme works at optimum temperature of 37 degrees and above the 40 degrees enzymes gets denatured and deactivated that is why it does not break down lipid at 95 degrees.

    Explanation:

    Lipase is the enzymes that break down lipid molecules in to smaller monomers.

    Temperature change affects the enzyme activity.

    When there is a temperature increase the kinetic energy and velocity also increases due to high movement of molecules. This increase energy causes many molecules reaching activation energy and the rate of reaction increases.

    Enzymes in living bodies as human works on the basis of body temperature.

    Although increase in temperature causes increase rate of reaction but at much higher temperature the protein in enzymes gets denatured or start breaking down thus making enzymes deactivated.

    This deactivation causes cease or no activity in lipase as it breaks down at a temperature of 95 degrees.
