I have an article here that might help you understand more about villis and also aid you in answering your question:

"<span>Intestinal villi (singular: villus) are tiny, finger-like projections that come out from the wall of the small intestine and have additional extensions called microvilli (singular: microvillus) which protrude from epithelial cells lining villi. They increase the absorptive area and the surface area of the intestinal wall. It is important that the food is absorbed at a considerably fast rate so as to allow more food to be absorbed. (If the process is too slow, the concentration of the blood in the blood vessels and the food will be equal, thus, diffusion will not occur.) Digested nutrients (including sugars and amino acids) pass into the villi through diffusion. Circulating blood then carries these nutrients away. </span>

<span>In all humans, the villi and microvilli together increase intestinal absorptive surface area 30-fold and 600-fold, respectively, providing exceptionally efficient absorption of nutrients in the lumen. This increases the surface area so there are more places of food to be absorbed. </span>

<span>Villi are made up of several cells."

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

  • Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
  • An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a  decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
  • Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
  • This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.
