Answer 3

Fat soluble vitamins are first absorbed into the lymphatic system and then into the blood stream, unlike water soluble vitamins that are absorbed straight into the blood system. Many fat soluble vitamins require protein carriers for transport, are stored in cells associated with fat, and are less readily excreted making the risk of toxicity greater. On the other hand water soluble vitamins travel freely through out the body.

Answer 4

A fat soluble vitamin is a vitamin that is not easily excreted. They are absorbed with the help of fat. The Fat Solubles are vitamins A, D, E, and K
