Answer: villi

Explanation:

In a human digestive system, small intestine is responsible for fat digestion. small intestine consist of small finger like projections called villi which functions the fat digestion by increasing the surface area for nutrient absortion.

The surface mucous-membranous layer protects the heart of a villus. This is composed mainly of two types of cells including columnar cells which absorb the substances passed into the blood and lymphatic vessels; and goblet cells, rounded at the end, which secrete mucus into the intestinal cavity.

Hence, villi increases the surfcae area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.

Why do warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity
Andrej [43]
<span>biomes vary in their rates of net primary production-biomass that remains after cellular respiration limited by sunlight and nutrients available In general, warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity than colder and drier biomes. The reason for this trend is that plants require sunlight, water, and temperatures warm enough to grow. This is true even in aquatic ecosystems, where sunlight and the availability of nutrients determine the level of net primary productivity.</span>
