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."

Lina20 [59]
PV=nRT \\ (12)(22.4)=n(.0821)(100) \\ 268.8=8.21n \\ 268.8/8.21=8.21n/8.21 \\ n=32.74
n ≈ 32.74

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/ml. how many pounds does 19.2 gallons of gasoline weigh?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
A good first step is writing the amount in terms of ml. 

19.2 gallons = 72.68 L = 72680 ml

that would mean it weighs 0.749*720680g = 54437.32ml = 54.437 L

hope that helps :)

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 3.62 L at a pressure of 0.987 atm. If the volume of the gas decreases to 2.50 L, what w
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

0.033 atm

Explanation:

PV=nRT

rule of 1 for T and n

P= nRT/V

P= 1(.08206)1)/ 2.50

0.033 atm = pressure
