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.

Which best describes the concept of natural selection?
Reika [66]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the way that organisms adapt through adaptations to better survive and pass on the special genes which enable the offspring to survive. Saying an organism will always mutate to survive is wrong, as natural selection implies that not all organisms survive. With natural selection, nothing is "selected", so B and C are not correct. However, mutations DO make organisms "more fit" to survive their environments, so D is the answer.
