Small droplets of digested lipids surrounded by bile salts are called ________.

A) chylomicrons
B) micelles
C) monoglycerides
D) diglycerides
E) lacteals

Bile Salts

Components of bile, which aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine by emulsifying fats.

Micelles

Aggregates of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid, forming a structure with a hydrophilic (water-attracting) exterior and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) core.

Digested Lipids

These are lipids that have been broken down by the digestive process into smaller molecules, such as fatty acids and glycerol, for absorption and use by the body.
