A fiber (like pectin) with adsorptive abilities can decrease absorption of fatty acids by
a) causing the fatty acid to form a triglyceride, which cannot be absorbed into the enterocyte.
b) Increasing the mucin-rich water on top of the enterocytes and preventing the diffusion of the fatty acid through the layer
c) preventing the incorporation of the fatty acid into a micelle
d) changing the length of the fatty acid chain, making it too long to be absorbed
Answer is - c) preventing the incorporation of the fatty acid into a micelle
Fiber (like pectin) bind with fatty acid and cholesterol and form a complex structure which prevents it from forming micelle. And this form of complex without micelle formation cannot be absorbed.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
