Explanation / Answer

1- ansD-concentration gradient for X

According to Fick's law the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradient

i.e.- dn/dt = P*A {dc/dx}

where-P-permeability

A- membrane area

dc/dx-concentration gradient

rate of diffusion= dn/dt

2 ans-Macrophage

are large specialised cell and are important cells of the immune system derived from the monocyte cells.

3 ans-triglycerides

triglycerides or fats can not directly does not pass from the villus enterocyte they must be enzymatically digested to get monoglyceride and fatty acids which can easily absorbed or diffuse and transported into the enterocyte.

4 ans-formation of two fatty acids and a 2-monoglyceride

luminal hydrolysis of triglycerides are 2-monoglycerides and free fatty acid

5 ans-B and C only
