Fats absorbed with the help of bile salts are_______________?

Correct answer: C. Higher fattery acids, diglycerides and monoglycereides

  • A. Free fatty acid
  • B. Glycerol
  • C. Higher fattery acids, diglycerides and monoglycereides
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

Bile salts form micelles that aid absorption of long-chain fatty acids and monoacylglycerols, with some diacylglycerols also included in the listed products. Glycerol is relatively water-soluble and can be absorbed without bile salts, so “all” is not appropriate.
