Which statement is correct with reference to chylomicron?

1. They are end products of fat digestion

2. The reconstructed triglycerides in the intestinal cells combine with phospholipids and cholesterol and are released into lymph in the form of protein-coated fat droplets called chylomicrons

3. This is the form in which digested fats are absorbed into intestinal cells

4. These are short chains of fatty acids absorbed directly into blood by diffusion

Mark the incorrect statement

(1) Fructose, mannose and some amino acids are

      absorbed by facilitated diffusion 

(2) Various nutrients like amino acids, fatty acid,

     monosaccharides like glucose, electrolytes like

     Na+ are absorbed by active transport only 

(3) Fatty acid and glycerol are first incorporated 

     into small droplets called micelles which move

     into intestinal cell of mucosa 

(4) Transport of water depends upon osmotic

     gradient
