A fatty acid with 10 carbons will be absorbed via the portal system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Short- and medium-chain fatty acids are absorbed directly into the blood via intestine capillaries and travel through the portal vein just as other absorbed nutrients do. The hepatic portal vein is a vessel that moves blood from the spleen and gastrointestinal tract to the liver.

Answer 2

Answer is: fatty acids of short (C4-C6) and medium (C8-C10) chain fatty acids (SCFAs and MCFAs) solubilize in intestinal fluids and are absorbed directly into the portal system.
Fatty acid with ten carbon atoms made medium chain triglycerides, that we also consume by food and get energy by breaking bonds between and oxidizing carbon atoms.
