Question

Lipids are transported to the surface of the intestinal absorptive cells by __________, and are then processed into __________.

Answer 1

Lipids are transported to the surface of the intestinal cells by something called micelles and they are processed into fat globules. Remember that lipids are basicaly fat acids and also they are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The micelles are agregates of molecules in a determined solution. Fat globules are individual pieces of intracellular fat.
