Answer:the villi of the intestine

Explanation:like the cristae of the mitochondria which increase the surface area for the production of ATP,the villi of the intestine acts similarly.

In animals, digested food pass from the stomach to the intestine. In the intestine , enzymes acts on the food. Absorption of food takes place there and there are some structures that facilitates it. The walls of the intestine have numerous foldings , alongside the presence of finger like projection called villi. Microvilli are also presence from the cell walls of the intestine . These projections increase the surface area for the absorbing of food .they brush against food in the intestine and promotes absorption of nutrients.

Sperm tails in the fruit fly Drosophila bifurca can reach up to 6cm long, which is over 20 times the length of the organism itse
spayn [35]

Explanation:

The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca. </em>

In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:

1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.

2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.

3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.
