(b) glucose and vitamins
(c) lactic acid
(d) fatty acids and glycerol
Which is the right option and how? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids, di- and monoglycerides. ... At this point, the fats are in the bloodstream in the form of chylomicrons
