Q. Which process helps in the absorption of fatty acids in the body?

A
Simple diffusion
B
Facilitated diffusion
C
Osmosis
D
Activated transport
Solution:
  • Simple diffusion is the movement of molecules from a higher concentrated region to a lower concentrated region.
  • The absorption of fatty acid and glycerol to lacteal takes place by simple diffusion.
  • Osmosis is the passage of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a solution with a high concentration to a solution with a lower concentration.
  • Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules along the concentration gradient.
