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."

Question 6 (1 point)
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

d 4400

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ice = 55 g

The Heat of Fusion = 80 cal/g

The Heat of Vaporization = 540 cal/g

The specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The Heat of Fusion × The mass of the ice

The heat required to melt the 55 g mass of ice = 540 cal/g × 55 g = 29700 cal

The heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass ice (water) = The mass of the ice (water) × The specific heat capacity of the ice (water) × The temperature change

The heat required to raise the temperature of the ice from 0°C to 100°C = 55 × 1 × (100 - 0) = 5,500 cal

The heat required to vaporize a given mass of ice = The Heat of Vaporization × The mass of the ice

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal

The total heat required to boil 55 g of ice = 29700 cal + 5,500 cal + 4,400 cal = 39,600 cal

However, we note that the heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal.

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 4,400 cal

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?
e-lub [12.9K]
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
                                    ΔT = (kf)  x m 
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
                                   5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
                                  molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
                                       number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

How many grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3 L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4oC?
I am Lyosha [343]

17.93 grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4°C. Details about how to calculate mass can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate mass?</h3>

The mass of a given gas can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles of the substance by its molar mass.

However, the number of moles of the gas must be calculated first as follows:

PV = nRT

Where;

  • P = pressure = 1.0796941atm
  • V = volume = 12.3L
  • n = number of moles
  • T = temperature = 288.4K
  • R = gas law constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK

1.079 × 12.3 = n × 0.0821 × 288.4

13.27 = 23.68n

n = 13.27/23.68

n = 0.56mol

Mass = 0.56 × 32

mass of oxygen gas = 17.93g

Therefore, 17.93 grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4°C.
