The majority of lipid absorption occurs in the small intestine with the of a spherical compound called a(n)

micelle

Explanation:

Micelle can be defined as the small aggregate of bile acids and mixed lipids which are suspended in the ingesta. An ingesta can be defined as the mixed, micelles bump that is present on the brush border of the small intestine. The kind of lipids responsible for formation of micelle includes the monoglycerides and the fatty acids.

The correct answer is micelle

Explanation:

Lipids are mainly digested in the small intestine. The digestion of lipids requires emulsification which is done by bile that is produced by the liver. During emulsification, the lipids are broken down into small globules of lipids.  

This small lipid globule is converted into fatty acids and glyceraldehydes by lipase enzyme. Bile salt than surrounds these smaller and simpler lipid molecules and convert them into tiny sphere called micelle.  

These micelle are than absorbed in the small intestine therefore the correct answer is micelle.
