The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Components**: In the digestive process, fats are broken down into smaller components. The primary components of fats are fatty acids and glycerol. 2. **Formation of Fat Globules**: When fats are emulsified in the digestive tract, they form small fat globules. This process is crucial for the absorption of fats. 3. **Role of Proteins**: These small fat globules are coated with proteins. This protein coating helps in the absorption of fats in the intestines. 4. **Terminology**: The protein-coated small fat globules that facilitate the absorption of fats are specifically known as "chylomicrons." 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that protein-coated small fat globules for absorption are called "chylomicrons." ---
