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.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

1) If a pesticide was used to kill the grasshoppers and the caterpillars, then the frogs should be fine, because the pesticide isn't made to effect them; also, unless their diet was only of grasshoppers and caterpillars, then the frogs would not starve.

2) Two human activities that can impact the ecosystem are, pollution, and deforestation. Pollution, because it can harm animals, but against popular (but unscientific) belief, doesn't cause climate change. Deforestation also harms animals, and also causes for some trees to have to produce more oxygen than before.

 3)Life on earth could not exist on earth without plants and decomposers because there would be no oxygen left on earth for creatures to breathe, and there would be no nutrients to keep the earth alive.
