Fat
No, ductless glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream for transportation to target organs or tissues. These hormones are not absorbed by capillaries in the tissue fluid, but instead circulate in the blood until they reach their target cells.
lymphatic capillaries are very permeable Lymphatic capillaries have valves that keep fluid from flowing backward. The blood capillaries are regulated by smooth muscle. Lymphatic capillaries are also a but larger than blood capillaries.
Fiber is a nutrient that is not fully absorbed by the digestive system because humans lack the necessary enzymes to break it down completely. Instead, fiber passes through the digestive tract mostly intact, providing benefits like promoting healthy bowel movements and supporting gut health.
No, sugars from carbohydrate digestion are not transported through the lymphatic system. Instead, they are absorbed in the small intestine and transported directly into the bloodstream via the portal vein. This process allows the sugars, primarily in the form of glucose, to be quickly delivered to the liver and other tissues for energy. The lymphatic system primarily transports fats and fat-soluble substances, not carbohydrates.
No, energy is absorbed instead.

capillaries are smaller than arteries and veins. they need to be small or it would look wierd with big buldges sticking out of your eye lids. :P
The lymphatic system is similar to the circulatory system, only that the circulating fluid is lymph which is a component of blood. It is however not related to circulation but instead related to immunity. For additional information, visit the link provided.
With obstruction of the lymphatic system, lymph will be unable to return to the systemic circulation (ie - the blood). Instead, this lymph builds up in the tissues causing swelling that can become extreme. Elephantiasis occurs when a microorganism causes obstruction of the lymphatics and results in grossly swollen appendages.
Water-soluble nutrients are first carried in the lymph after digestion. The lymphatic system has no pump for fat-soluble nutrients; instead, these nutrients eventually enter the vascular system, though they bypass the activity of the liver at first.
Nutrients are not "killed". Some foods lose nutrient value when they are boiled because the vitamins go into the water, that's why it's recommend to steam your vegetables instead.
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
