Chylomicrons are

  • small fat globules coated with protein

  • protein molecules coated with fat

  • small granules found in gastric juice

  • neural signals that stimulate, intestinal secretions

  • neural signals that stimulate, intestinal secretions


A.

small fat globules coated with protein

Chylomicrons are lipoprotein molecules that consist of small fat globules coated with protein. These are found in the blood and lymphatic fluid where they serve to transport fat from its entry site in the intestine to the liver and to adipose tissue.
