One method I know of is comparing a sample of the rock to other samples which the scientist already knows the age of. I forgot what this method is called but I know it's used by lazy scientists that use other scientist findings like the age of a rock to compare to their own work

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

plicae circulares and intestinal villi

Explanation:

The inner wall of the intestine is full of wrinkles, called villi. An enlargement of them under the microscope reveals that they are formed by cells whose surface has innumerable small "wrinkled" structures. The small intestine is the largest viscera of the body (about six meters). Intestinal villi and microvilli increase the area of ​​contact with the intestine as well as the speed of absorption of food. Blood capillaries and lymph are in these villi to absorb nutrients.

The intestinal villi, have the function of increasing the absorption of nutrients after digestion. They are the folds of the intestines. The surface of the villi has an area of ​​12 cm² and the microvilli 240 cm².

Villi and microvilli increase the area of ​​intestinal absorption by approximately 30 times and 600 times, respectively, providing exceptionally efficient absorption of nutrients in the lumen.

The entire small intestine has circular folds of mucosa, also called Kerckring valves and circular plicae. Most extend transversely around the small intestine cylinder for about half or two-thirds of its circumference, but some form complete circles, and some have a spiraling direction; The latter usually extend a little more than once around the bowel, but occasionally two or three times. Circular folds slow the passage of partially digested food along the intestines and provide an increased surface for absorption.

What happens to a snail/slug if you pour salt on it? why would this happen?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

When you pour salt on a snail/slug the water is very quickly pulled out of the cells of the snail's body by a process called osmosis. As it dries out, the snail's body produces a slimy substance to protect itself. The bubbling comes from the slime and air being forced out of the snail's body as it shrivels up. If enough salt is poured on the snail it will die of dehydration very quickly.
