Question

multiple choice question
lacteals absorb which of the following?

water
lipids
proteins
carbohydrates

Explanation:

Lacteals are lymphatic capillaries in the small intestine that absorb dietary lipids (in the form of chylomicrons). Water, proteins, and carbohydrates are absorbed by other mechanisms (e.g., capillaries for water, monosaccharides, amino acids). So the correct option is the one related to lipids.

Answer:

B. Lipids (assuming the options are labeled as A. Water, B. Lipids, C. Proteins, D. Carbohydrates; if labels differ, adjust to match the actual option text with its identifier)
