The walls of the small intestine are folded by what?

Biology
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
6 0

The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract where the absorption of nutrients and minerals occurs. Because of that, surface of the small intestine needs to be increased. The inner wall (mucosa) is lined with epithelial tissue and covered with folds called plicae circulares. From the plicae circulares extend finger-like pieces of tissue called villi. The individual epithelial cells of mucosa also contain finger-like extensions-microvilli. Thus, plicae circulares, villi and microvilli are structures that improve absorption by increasing the surface of small intestine.

Organelo que regula el equilibrio hídrico en protistos de agua dulce.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

These organelles are contractile vacuoles

Explanation:

Contractile vacuoles are intercellular pumps that are slowly filled with fresh water and eventually expel their contents outside the cell. Freshwater protists maintain the hydric equilibrium by contractile vacuoles that pump out the water of the cell and thus prevent the cell swelling induced by osmotic stress.

Write components of xylem and phylem ?
aleksandrvk [35]
  • Xylem contains tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibre.
  1. Tracheids: They are elongated, tubular dead cells with tapering end walls.
  2. Vessels: These are also known as trachea. They are elongated, tubular dead cells. They are joined to each other by end to end forming a continuous pipe. The cells are thick and lignified.
  3. Xylem parenchyma: They are also called wood parenchyma. This is the only living tissue of xylem.
  4. Xylem fibre: They are dead cells with thick walled fibre.

  • Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
  1. Sieve tubes: These are elongated, tubular living cells arranged in a row, with their perforated end walls forming a sieve. They are non-nucleated. Their protoplasm are inter-connected through sieve plates. They possess vacuoles.
  2. Companion cell: They are elongated, lens-shaped cells containing dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. These cells maintain connection with sieve cells through pits.
  3. Phloem parenchyma: They are living thin walled parenchyma cells.
  4. Phloem fibre: They are also known as bast fibre. They are elongated fibre like sclerenchymatous dead cells with thick walls containing pits and interlocked ends. Phloem fibre are the only dead cells in phloem.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
