This would reduce the capacity of the ileum to absorb nutrients from the food we eat. The efficiency of absorption would be much lower that is currently. This, therefore, would cause animals to be much smaller than they currently are because they would need to eat a lot of food  to absorb the same amount of nutrients that would sustain their large bodies. Being big would be a disadvantage in natural selection.

Villi increase the surface area of absorption hence considerably increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption from the food we eat.

What does pH measure?
kogti [31]

Answer: Answer below

Explanation: pH is a measure  of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. What the pH scale measures is basically the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxyl atoms in a solution. So, the last option is the answer. Another thing to keep in mind is solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, and solutions with a pH over 7 are alkaline or considered a base. I hope this helped! Good luck:)
