47. The digestion and absorption of dietary fats require several coordinated processes in the human digestive system. Which of the following statements best describes how fats are digested and absorbed? (A) Bile salts emulsify fats into micelles within the intestinal lumen, allowing them to be absorbed directly into the intestinal capillaries. (B) Bile salts emulsify fats into chylomicrons within the intestinal lumen, allowing them to be absorbed directly into the hepatic portal vein. (C) Fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into intestinal epithelial cells, reassembled into triglycerides, packaged into chylomicrons, and transported through lacteals before eventually entering the bloodstream. (D) Fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into the intestinal capillaries and transported via the hepatic portal vein to the liver for storage. (E) Fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into intestinal epithelial cells, reassembled into triglycerides, packaged into micelles, and transported into the intestinal capillaries.
