Question

Which of the following is not absorbed directly from intestine?

• A. Glucose
• B. Amino acids
• C. Monoglycerides
• D. Water

Answer 1

The correct option is C Monoglycerides

Monoglycerides are hydrophobic in nature and cannot be absorbed directly into the blood by the intestine. They are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles which move into the intestinal mucosa. Then micelles are re-formed into very small protein coated fat globules called the chylomicrons and are transported into the lymph and blood.

So the correct answer is 'Monoglycerides'.
