Question

Digested lipids are absorbed from lacteals as:

• A. Triglycerides
• B. Diglycerides
• C. Monoglycerides
• D. Free fatty acids

Answer 1

The correct option is A Triglycerides

The products of the lipid digestion enter the body by a different process and different route. The monoglycerides and diglycerides are insoluble in water and cannot be directly absorbed from the intestinal content. They combine with the bile salts and phospholipids to form small, spherical, water soluble molecular aggregates called micelles.

So, option A is the correct option.
