Explanation:

The intestinal cells absorb the fats. Long-chain fatty acids form a large lipoprotein structure called a chylomicron that transports fats through the lymph system. ... Short- and medium-fatty chains can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the intestinal microvillus because they are water-soluble.

Answer :-

  • fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble insoluble in water because of that water and fatty cannot be absorbed into the blood

Reason why they are insoluble in water :-

  • a fatty acids is a long chain of hydrocarbons they are hydrophobic , making the resultant fat insoluble in water
  • glycerol is soluble in water but because of ability of making hydrogen bonds with water molecule so glycerol is slightly denser than water so when glycerol is poured into the container of water it will sink to the bottom.

hope it's help
