active transport
Vitamins can be absorbed through passive diffusion, but the process varies depending on the type of vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are often absorbed via passive diffusion in the presence of dietary fats, while water-soluble vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin C) typically require active transport mechanisms for absorption. Overall, both passive diffusion and active transport play roles in the absorption of different vitamins.
Fats can cross the cell membrane through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or by being transported with the help of carrier proteins. These methods allow fats to move across the lipid bilayer and enter the cell for various cellular processes.
Passive processes, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, account for the movement of fats and respiratory gases through the plasma membrane. These processes do not require energy input and rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane.
Fats that are unable to be transported by the bloodstream are absorbed by the lacteals. They are lymphatic vessels.
Fats are absorbed into the villi in the form of fatty acids and monoglycerides. These molecules are broken down by enzymes in the small intestine and then enter the villi for absorption into the bloodstream.
Fats are broken down into fatty acids and monoglycerides by enzymes in the small intestine. These small molecules are then absorbed into the intestinal lining and formed into larger structures called chylomicrons. These chylomicrons are released into the lymphatic system and eventually transported to the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
Products of digestion are absorbed across the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream through a process called diffusion and active transport. Nutrients like simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed directly into the blood vessels in the small intestine, while larger molecules like fats are absorbed into lymph vessels before entering the bloodstream.

FATS
Fats that are unable to be transported by the bloodstream are absorbed by the lacteals. They are lymphatic vessels.
Fats are absorbed in the small intestine, along with carbohydrates and proteins.
lacteals
Peyer's patches

I am not quite sure of the main reason but here are some: 1. so that the fat absorbed in the small intestine (particularly in the ileum) passes through adipose (fat) tissue first. 2. So that fat by-passes the liver 3.transport of fat in lymph may reduce risk of plaque in arteries
Yes.
