Card 17 / 19: Once dietary fats are digested and absorbed, why can they not be released directly into the bloodstream?
Answer:
All lipids are hydrophobic and unable to dissolve in the watery environment of blood. They are packaged into lipoproteins, whose outer protein envelope enables them to transport fats in the bloodstream.
