What is the function of folds and villi

Biology

Function. There, the villi and the microvilli increase intestinal absorptive surface area approximately 30-fold and 600-fold, respectively, providing exceptionally efficient absorption ofnutrients in the lumen. There are alsoenzymes (enterocyte digestive enzyme) on the surface for digestion.
I hope helping with this answer

Answer:

A small finger line projections find in the small intestine is called as villi. The main function of villi and microvilli is to increase the surface area of the intestine. It also contains specialized cells that work to transport substances in the bloodstream. They increase the absorptive surface area to 30 to 600 fold.

How does elevation affect climate?
Kisachek [45]

As elevation increases, air density decreases resulting in a decreased ability to hold heat.

<h3>Effect of elevation on climate</h3>

As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further and the temperature decreases.

P = ρgh

where;

  • P is the air pressure
  • ρ is air density
  • h is elevation
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further and the temperature decreases. The decrease in temperature affects the amount of heat that air can hold.

Thus, as elevation increases, air density decreases resulting in a decreased ability to hold heat.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
