the products of fat (lipid) digestion are absorbed not into the blood stream directly, but into lymphatic vessels called lacteals true or false
Adi S.
Which is NOT true of lipid absorption? Products of lipid digestion are transported to the blood by the lymphatic system. Fatty acids and monoglycerides are packaged with proteins to form chylomicrons. Fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed passively by diffusion. Enterocytes require the presence of lipoprotein lipase to effectively absorb micelles.
In what way do long-chain fatty acids differ from short- and medium-chain fatty acids? Group of answer choices They have a faster absorption time They are immediately metabolized for energy They are absorbed directly into the blood They are reassembled into chylomicrons
