Question

From top to bottom, place the steps of dietary fat absorption in the order they occur.

a) Emulsification, micelle formation, absorption, chylomicron formation
b) Absorption, emulsification, micelle formation, chylomicron formation
c) Emulsification, absorption, micelle formation, chylomicron formation
d) Micelle formation, absorption, emulsification, chylomicron formation

Answer 1

Dietary fat absorption occurs in the order of emulsification, micelle formation, absorption, and chylomicron formation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Emulsification
2. Micelle formation
3. Absorption
4. Chylomicron formation

Dietary fat absorption occurs in the following order: emulsification, micelle formation, absorption, and chylomicron formation.

First, bile salts and lecithin emulsify the dietary fats, creating micelles. Then, the micelles carry the fat particles to the surface of the enterocytes where the fats are absorbed. Finally, the absorbed fats are reassembled into triglycerides and mixed with other lipids and proteins to form chylomicrons.
