What's the purpose of intestinal villi? It provides macro and micro-nutrient absorption, right? For reference: Macronutrients are the ones you see on food labels: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K. Nutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, and so on).

So if a person has fewer of them, that means that they absorb nutrients at a slower rate. 

Macronutrients have energy values, expressed in Calories (side note: always capitalize the C, or note them as kcal, because a Calorie is 1,000 calories... don't ask me why that is because I don't know). If you're absorbing fewer Calories than you're expending, you won't gain weight.


Therefore, I'd expect these people to be underweight.

Answer:

Explanation:

The fact that attention is selective means that we can focus on something in particular and turn off all the other things that we perceive in an environment. This is helpful when we want to focus on one thing, like listen to our professor, so we do not pay attention to what is going on in the room like mates talking, someone chewing, the noise outside, etc.
