0%
a) Triglycerides
0%
b) Diglycerides
0%
c) Monoglycerides

d) Free fatty acids
Explanation
The enzymes of the small intestine are responsible for almost all of the fat digestion. When pancreatic lipase acts on the lipid, it breaks it down, which results in free fatty acids and monoglycerides, the two digestive products of lipids. These products are much easier for your small intestine to handle, and they have very little trouble being absorbed out of your digestive tract. When the fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into the epithelial cells of the intestinal lining, they are combined to form triglycerides which enters the blood through lacteals Correct option is Triglycerides Answer : (a)

Explanation
The walls lining the intestines are covered with many tiny, finger-like protrusions, or villi, that provide a large surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients. The centre of each villus contains blood capillaries and special lymph capillaries called lacteals. The blood capillaries absorb water-soluble nutrients, but the lacteals absorb the fats and fat-soluble vitamins. The lacteals carry the mixture of lymph and nutrients, known as chyle to lymph vessels in the intestinal wall. The chyle is then collected into larger lymph vessels that feed eventually into the venous circulation. Answer : (a)

0%
a) Micelle
0%
b) Liposomes
0%
c) Chemomicrons
0%
d) Chylomicrons
Explanation
Absorption of fatty acids and glycerol: Fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble in water thus they can’t enter in bloodstream directly. In intestinal lumen, bile salts and phospholipids incorporate fatty acids and glycerol into small, spherical water-soluble droplets known as micelles. Fat soluble vitamins and sterols along with fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed by diffusion by the help of micelles into intestinal cells, where they are resynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and are converted into small droplets known as chylomicrons. Later most of them released into lymph present in lacteals (lymphatic capillaries). Answer : (d)
