Is a microvilli is a tiny finger like projection that kills bacteria in the lymphatic system? true or false
Alika [10]

Villi are tiny finger like projections present in the inner epithelial lining of the intestine. Each finger like villi is further divided into microvilli, which is the extension of plasma membrane of each epithelial cell of the villi. These villi and microvilli present on the inner surface of the intestine provide a greater surface area and this enhances the digestion and absorption of the nutrients.

Therefore, the correct answer is false as a microvilli is the tiny finger like projection of the inner epithelial cells of the small intestine that has absorptive functions.

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid  

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.
