How are fats absorbed and transported by the body?
Well, they get absorbed where all the other nutrients get absorbed as well, with the exception of fiber...
Up until they come into contact with bile and enzymes like lipase in the small intestine, where they are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption and assimilation, lipids and fats remain unabsorbed.
By breaking down the fats into smaller pieces to increase their surface area, bile emulsifies them and speeds up the rate at which an enzyme breaks them down and absorbs them.
Lipids are primarily nonpolar and are not well transported by water, so the blood's lipoproteins, which are unique proteins, aid in the movement of lipids throughout the body.

Fats are absorbed in the small intestine and transported through the lymphatic system as chylomicrons, which eventually enter the bloodstream.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
