Biology
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]2 years ago
7 0
The relevant field is astrobiology, the most highly funded branch of science that has the least scientific evidence supporting it.  It encompasses cosmology, chemistry, geology, astrophysics, and biology predominantly and is exploring and attempting to generate knowledge on every aspect of naturalistic investigation of panspermia, habitability of exoplanets, energy sources in the cosmos, potential astro-intelligence, and composition of meteors, comets, asteroids, planets, solar systems and galaxies. The scope of astrobiology must accommodate virtually all of physical reality to be truly comprehensive.

Astrobiology is not funded well enough for the scope of the task, but is driving much of the science universe exploration projects to try to answer one of the fundamental questions of human history, is there other life and how did life come into being. Panspermia, non-directed (biochemical compounds from extraterrestrial sources of any type) and directed (intentional or non-intentional alien transmitted sources) are a prime astrobiological theoretical field and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence,SETI,  is also a prime focus of astrobiology,

How does the structure of the small intestine help it to perform its function?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is:

D .Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.

Explanation:

The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.
