how do lipids move through the body so they can be digested and absorbed? I fyou pour oil and water together they do not mix so am confused to this. also how are they stored in the body?
Answered by ~christina~
Fat is stored in adipose tissue.
Majority of the lipid in the body is in the form of triglycerides (TG). Chilomicrons (licoprotein) contains an interior of triglicerides and cholesterol surrounded by phospholipids. Since the phospholipid tails point inward and the whole structure is surrounded by protein, (hydrophilic[water loving]) while the interior is filled with hydrophobic(water fearing) molecules this allows lipids to travel through the blood (mostly water).
