Once the degradation products of triglycerides have entered the epithelial cells that line the small intestines, they
A) are further degraded to glycerol and a free fatty acid, which are packaged by the Golgi apparatus into chylomicrons.
B) cross the basolateral membrane and enter the circulation where they will be embedded into a chylomicron.
C) are reassembled into triglycerides and packaged by the Golgi apparatus into micelles.
D) are reassembled into triglycerides and packaged by the Golgi apparatus into chylomicrons.
E) are reassembled into triglycerides and released into the blood where they can be incorporated into chylomicrons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because once the degradation products of triglycerides enter the epithelial cells of the small intestine, they are reassembled into triglycerides and then packaged by the Golgi apparatus into chylomicrons for transport through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream.
