Solution
The correct option is B Triglycerides
The pancreas secretes lipase enzymes, that act upon dietary fat molecules. Most dietary fat molecules are in the form of triglycerides. The cells lining the small intestine cannot absorb the large triglyceride molecules, so pancreatic lipase breaks the triglyceride into a smaller monoglyceride molecule and two free fatty acids. The cells lining the small intestine, then absorb the monoglycerides and fatty acids to use for energy production.
