How do small intestinal epithelial and root hair cells function in nutrient procurement?

Biology
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
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>

Which organism receives the least amount of energy from the producer?
shepuryov [24]
The owl would have the least amount of energy from the producer. The higher the organism is on the food pyramid, the less energy it will receive from the producer. For example, if grass is a producer, it has the most energy. Then, if a bunny eats the grass, it takes a part of the grass’s energy but does not take all of the energy. Then, a wolf eats the bunny. The wolf gets a part of the bunny’s energy but not all. The wolf has received the least amount of energy from the grass.

Nadya [2.5K]
Well, the carbon cycle provides an example of matter cycling and energy flow in ecosystems. Photosynthesis, digestion of plant matter, respiration, and decomposition are important components of the carbon cycle, in which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and geosphere through chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes.
