Given below are two statements: Statement I: Fatty acids and glycerols cannot be absorbed into the blood. Statement II: Specialized lymphatic capillaries called lacteals carry chylomicrons into lymphatic vessels and ultimately into the blood In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Fructose is absorbed into the blood through mucosa cells of intestine by the process called:Fructose and some amino acids are absorbed with the help of carrier proteins, without using energy. This is facilitated transport.

Select the correct match of the digested products in humans given in column I with their absorption site and mechanism in column II.Glucose and amino acids such as glycine are absorbed in the small intestine by active transport.
Fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed as micelles and move into lymph as chylomicrons.

Carrier ions like $Na^+$ facilitate the absorption of substances likeAbsorption in the intestine takes place by passive, facilitated and active transport.
The NCERT text on which this question is based states that substances like fructose and some amino acids are absorbed with the help of carrier ions like $Na^+$, a mechanism called facilitated transport.
Fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble in water; they are incorporated into micelles, re-formed into chylomicrons in the mucosal cells and passed into the lacteals, without the help of $Na^+$.
Hence carrier ions like $Na^+$ facilitate the absorption of fructose and some amino acids.
