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

<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>

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Tempature if the water is measured in degrees centigrade. Amount of

HACTEHA [7]

The changing quantities in an experiment are called variables. A variable refers to any trait, factor, or a condition, which can prevail in distinct amounts or kinds. An experiment generally exhibits three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent variable refers to the one, which is modified. On the other hand, the dependent variable is implied to observe that how it reacts with the change made to the independent variable. The controlled variables refer to the quantities, which one wants to remain constant.

In the given case, that is, heating a cup of water to witness that whether the sugar will get more easily dissolve. In this, the independent variable refers to the temperature of the water determined in degrees Centigrade. The dependent variable refers to the amount of sugar, which dissolves completely measured in grams.

In this, the controlled variables are stirring and type of sugar. As more stirring might elevate the amount of sugar that dissolves, and different kind of sugars might dissolve in distinct concentrations. So, in order to make sure a fair test, there is a need to keep these variables similar for each cup of water.
