The name of the structure that increases the surface area of the small intestine in humans is Villi.

<h3>What are the functions of the small intestine?</h3>

The small intestine performs a key role in the digestion of undigested food which comes through the stomach. It also absorbs all the essential minerals and nutrients from the food and is used by the body.

Villi or microvilli is the structure that increases the surface area of the small intestine for food absorption and adding digestive secretions.

Therefore, the name of the structure that increases the surface area of the small intestine in humans is Villi.

White meat contains less syoglobin than red meat. Red meat contains more ( slow-twitch / fast-twitch) muscles than white meat do

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Slow-twitch

Explanation:

Red meat is rich in slow-twitch muscle fibers. The slow-twitch muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin and blood capillaries. They also have many large mitochondria to generate ATP by aerobic respiration.

These fibers are slow-twitch fibers as the ATPase in myosin head carries out the hydrolysis of ATP at a slower rate causing a slower contraction cycle.

Slow-twitch fibers appear red due to a large amount of myoglobin and a rich network of blood vessels. They are capable of prolonged contractions and are fatigue resistant.
