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.
