Question

The chyle contains
a) Proteins, starch, fats
b) Peptones, starches, fats and hydrochloric acid
c) Amino acids, hydrochloric acids, fats and starch
d) Sugars, fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids

Answer 1

Hint: First, we must know a little basic information about chyle. Chyle is a milky bodily fluid which is formed in the small intestine during the process of digestion of fatty foods and is taken up by the lymph vessels which are specifically known as lacteals. The lipids in the chyle are colloidally suspended in the chylomicrons.

Complete answer:
The digested food called as chyle, contains simple sugars like glucose, amino acids, minerals, fatty acids, glycerol and water basically it is a fluid consisting of a mixture of lymphatic fluid and chylomicrons that has a milky appearance. Chylomicrons are small fat globules which are composed of protein and lipid which are combined in the lining of the intestine. Chylomicrons are found in the blood and in lymphatic fluid which helps in the transportation of fats from its port of entry in the intestine to the liver and further to adipose tissue.
All micromolecules except the fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed by the blood capillaries by simple diffusion. Thus sugars, amino acids etc. are absorbed into blood while the fatty acid and glycerol molecules are not taken by blood. They are absorbed by lacteals or also called the lymphatic vessels.
Chyle does not contain hydrochloric acid, peptones and starches.

Therefore we can say that the correct option is D) which states that the chyle contains sugars, fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids.

Note:
We must note that chyme and chyle are two different substances which are related to the digestion of the food. Chyme is a mixture of both partially digested food and abdominal fluids while chyle is a milky fluid that drains out from the small intestine during the process of digestion into the lymphatic system.
