Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micelles are spherical complexes of emulsified fats that arise during digestion. They consist of phospholipids, bile salts, and cholesterol, and can carry fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients.

Answer: B and C
 Chylomicrons and lipoproteins both play a role in transporting lipids in the body. Chylomicrons are the largest and least dense lipoprotein, primarily responsible for transporting dietary triglycerides from the small intestine to other tissues. Lipoproteins, on the other hand, are smaller and more dense and can transport all types of lipids (including triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids) throughout the body.
