Assertion : Glycerides are important nutrients for body. Reason : Glycerides are hydrolysed into glycerol and fatty acids which are further absorbed in intestine by the formation of chylomicron.

Step-by-step solution

Glycerides, mainly triglycerides are a principle form of fats present in our food. During digestion, fats are digested to form monoglycerides and free fatty acids. They first become dissolved in the central lipid portions of bile micelles which are soluble in chyme. In this form, the monoglycerides and free fatty acids are carried to the surfaces of the microvilli of the intestinal cell brush border and then penetrate into the interior of the epithelial cells, which is possible because the lipids are also soluble i
