Answer Key : (a) -

(a)

Fats and fat soluble vitamins are absorbed by passive transport or simple diffusion. Being insoluble in water, the molecules of fatty acid and glycerol cannot reach into the blood stream directly. Hence, they are broken down (emulsified) by the salts of bile into small water soluble droplets called micelles. These micelles (an aggregate of fatty acids, glycerol, sterol and vitamins) are absorbed into intestine by diffusion. In intestine, they are again synthesised in endoplasmic reticulum and are converted into small fat droplets called chylomicrons. These chylomicrons are released from the intestinal cells in the blood stream through lacteals
