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.

As a result of the non-selectivity of the kidney's filtration of small molecules, _____. see concept 44.4 (page 986)
kondor19780726 [428]
As a result of the non-selectivity of kidney's filtration of small molecules, useful substances must be selectively reabsorbed to the blood.  Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. Glomerulus lets fluid and waste products pass through it, however, it prevents blood cells and large molecules, mostly proteins, from passing.
