Question

Which statement is correct with reference to chylomicron?

• A. These are short chains of fatty acids absorbed directly into blood by diffusion
• B. They are end product of fat digestion
• C. The reconstructed triglycerides in the intestinal cells combine with phospholipids and cholesterol and are released into lymph in the form of protein-coated fat droplets called chylomicrons
• D. This is the form in which digested fats are absorbed into intestinal cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D This is the form in which digested fats are absorbed into intestinal cells

Chylomicrons are small lipoproteins that are made up of phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and proteins.
These chylomicrons transport dietary lipids from the intestinal areas to other parts of the body. These globules are synthesized in the lining of the intestine.These globules are synthesized in the lumen of the small intestine, it is in this form that the fats are absorbed across the intestinal lumen into the circulatory system.
