Certain cells, such as those along the digestive tract, need to absorb a lot of materials. What unique functions do you notice a
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Microvilli is very common in these cells. They increase the absorption area.

Explanation:

Epithelial cell surfaces show different structure shapes that allow the cells to adapt to and accomplish their functions. Most of these structures are related to the absorption surface and the need to move substances.

The development of microvilli is very common in epithelial cells. These are folds or finger-like projections emerging from the apical surface of the cell. <u>Their principal function is to absorb</u>. The microvilli of the intestinal epithelium are very uniform in size and distribution.

What would happen to the water level in the aquifer if you continue to add water? 
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The aquifer will become saturated and it will take the path of least resistance to the nearest body of water.

Explanation: Gravity will pull water down through the sand, gravel and clay layers in the soil until it reaches bedrock, where it can absorb no more moisture. Eventually, gravity pulls the underground water to join the nearest river, stream, lake or ocean. If the bottom is solid rock and the water has no downward path to take, it will pool. This is one way that lakes form.
