The products of lipid digestion, fatty acids and monoglycerides, are absorbed into the epithelial cells of the ileum. Bile salts form structures called micelles.
Explain the role of micelles in the absorption of the products of lipid digestion.

Explain why fatty acids and monoglycerides can pass directly across the cell-surface membrane.
[2]
Name the process by which fatty acids and monoglycerides enter the epithelial cell.
