Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chylomicrons are the lipoproteins that transport dietary lipids (primarily triacylglycerols) from the small intestine to the rest of the body. The major destination for the triacylglycerols carried by the chylomicrons is the adipose tissue, where they are stored as fat for later use as an energy source. Therefore, most of the triacylglycerols absorbed as chylomicrons are ultimately stored as fat in the adipose tissue, making statement A true.
