8 0

<span>Villi are hair-like structures covered with epithelial cells measuring 1.5 mm that line the mucous inner membrane of the small intestine. The epithelial cells of the villi contain microvilli and are responsible for the absorption of nutrients. Being so small and numerous, they effectively increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestine. When the surface area increases, this is the time they absorb the nutrients. As for plants' root hair cells, they receive nutrients through osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water and minerals are transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: It is a reactant used in photosynthesis. As we can see, both of them utilize increasing their surface area.</span>

Inferable from its exceptional capacity to extend and withdraw, the aorta additionally fills in as a store that changes the profoundly compelled and pulsatile heart yield into a progression of moderate variances.
The tunica intima comprises of a solitary layer of ECs that lines the lumen of the vein and is moored to the fundamental cellar film, an exceptionally particular ECM organize comprising basically of laminin, collagen type IV, fibronectin, perlecan, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans.
This storm cellar layer additionally assumes a vital job in flagging occasions that direct EC movement, intrusion, expansion, and survival. The cellar film together with the inward flexible lamina (IEL) fills in as an interface between the tunica intima and tunica media.

Hello!

your answer is A. How much energy is used to make one paper bag?

the word "should" is a giveaway of B, C, and D being questions for personal opinions. everyone has different views on what SHOULD be, so if you asked 100 people, chances are you'd get many different answers.

A can only have one possible answer.

(I don't know the answer to how much energy is used to make one paper bag so let's just leave it at that, shall we?)

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
