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."

Do all rocks follow the same pathway through the rock cycle? Explain.
ivolga24 [154]
I would have to say no. There are metamorphic rocks, igneous rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks are rocks that have solidified from magma or lava upon cooling, like lava rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks from smaller sediments, such as sandstone being made from, well, sand. Metamorphic rocks are the result of preexisting rocks in a response to changes in the environment. This includes changes in pressure, air temperature, mechanical stress, as well as taking away or adding chemical components. Metamorphic can be from igneous, sedimentary, or any other metamorphic rocks. Hopefully this help (with the added bonus that I explained all three type of rocks.

What happens in radioactive decay to the atom
notsponge [240]

Answer:

When radioactive atoms decay, they release energy in the form of ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma rays). The energy is called ionizing radiation because it has enough energy to knock tightly bound electrons from an atom's orbit. This causes the atom to become a charged ion

Describe how a positive result for the Baeyer Test will look. What is being oxidized? What is being reduced?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

This reaction is sometimes referred to as the Baeyer test. Because potassium permanganate, which is purple, is reduced to manganese dioxide, which is a brown precipitate, any water‐soluble compound that produces this color change when added to cold potassium permanganate must possess double or triple bonds.
