How are the glycerol and fatty acids absorbed in duodenum?
Obhishekhalder
Glycerol and fatty acids are absorbed in the duodenum through the process of diffusion after digestion. Glycerol and fatty acids circulate into lymphatic vessels and do not circulate into the bloodstream.

What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
In the triglyceride molecule what are three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
Fatty acids (apex)
Where are the fatty acids and glycerol transported to once absorbed by the lacteals?
A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides.
What are the acids attached to the glycerol molecule?
fatty acids
What are fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
What are substances not absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive system?
amino acids glucose fatty acids n glycerol or absorbed in to the blood in the ileum
What two molecules combine to form lipids?
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
What substances are found in oil?
fatty acids and glycerol
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
What components make up fat?
glycerol and fatty acids
What is is the monomer of lipid?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
Can triglycerides be absorbed without being digested?
No . A molecule of triglyceride is composed of a molecule of glycerol in ... Triglyceridescannot be efficiently absorbed, and are enzymatically digested by pancreatic lipase into a 2-monoglyceride and 2 Free fatty acids. All of which can be absorbed. Other lipase's hydrolyse a triglyceride into glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
What does lipase break down?
Pepsin is found in the stomach, and breaks down long-chain proteins into shorter amino acids, whilst lipase is secreted into the duodenum by the pancreas to break down fats into their constituent parts: fatty acids and glycerol.
What happens to glycerol when triglycerides are broken down?
Most fatty acids and glycerol pass into the lymphatic system and then the bloodstream. Once in the blood nutrients are carried to all cells of the body. Some are oxidised to produce energy and others are used to repair the cell or build new cells.
