Answer:

Option B

The plicae circulares, villi, and microvilli

Explanation:

The plicae circulares are the folds of mucous membrane on the inside of the small intestine. They are covered with tiny hair-like structures called the villi, and microvilli. The purpose of those folds is to increase the surface area for the absorption of food nutrients to take place in the small intestine before the food finally moves on to the large intestine for excretion.

The tiny hair-like projections (villi, and microvilli) further increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption by providing extra surfaces in which the nutrients can diffuse into the small intestine through.

This makes option B correct.

Albedo is the fraction of incoming light that is reflected by a celestial object. how would you predict a decrease in paved surf
iren [92.7K]

A decrease in the paved surfaces on earth will increase amount of light reflected or increase albedo.

<h3 /><h3>What is a paved surface?</h3>

A paved Surface refers to a surface covered by concrete, asphalt, masonry, or a similar material.

Paved surfaces have low albedo, that is they have low light reflectivity.

<h3>What is the effect of paved surface of Earth on albedo?</h3>

Since paved surfaces have low albedo, a decrease in the paved surfaces on earth will increase amount of light reflected (albedo).

What is the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
alexandr402 [8]

A substance that modifies the transition state to lower the activation energy is termed a catalyst; a catalyst composed only of protein and (if applicable) small molecule cofactors is termed an enzyme. It is important to note that a catalyst increases the rate of reaction without being consumed by it.

What would the relationship be between grass and a hawk?
iragen [17]

They both can be found in the same food chain, but they aren't directly related. A hawk is a tertiary consumer (top of the food chain) and grass is a producer (bottom of the food chain). The hawks survival depends on grass:

Grass feeds on nutrients from the ground → insects eat grass and flowes → bigger insects eat the smaller insects → field rats eat the insects → hawks eat the field rats.
