Which feature increases the absorption of glucose in the small intestine

Biology
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is villi.

Explanation:

The carbohydrates consumed by human beings are further dissociated into its mono forms, that is, fructose, glucose, and galactose. Of these monosaccharides, about 80% is glucose, which gets absorbed with the assistance of absorptive cells in the small intestine. In the walls of the small intestine, the food after digestion is passed into the blood vessels via the process of diffusion.  

The mucosa or the inner wall of the small intestine is enveloped by finger-like tissues known as villi that further comprise microscopic finger-like outcrops called microvilli. These villi and microvilli enhances absorption of nutrients as they increase the surface area of the small intestine. Thus, the absorption of glucose within the small intestine is enhanced by the presence of villi.

Why are there more stomata in the bottom of leaves
Jobisdone [24]

Stomata play an important role in photosynthesis as they allow the plant to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. In exchange, stomata allow oxygen, which is a waste product of photosynthesis, to be released. In the process, water vapor is also lost as the internal parts of the leaves are exposed. To reduce exposure, stomata are found on the underside of the leaves. They are protected from the sun as excessive heat can increase the rate of water vapor leaving and thus wither the plant. Stomata also have guard cells around the epidermis that close when too much water is being lost.
