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."

A gas tank holds 1125 mL of propane at 3.87 atm. What is the volume of the propane at 777 mm Hg?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Propane tanks are most commonly referred to by their water capacity volume, and propane tanks are normally filled to 80% of its water capacity. For example, a 120-gallon tank will hold approximately 100 gallons of propane when completely full. Since propane is stored in a liquid state under pressure, it needs room to

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 696a (isotopic mass 68.9256 amu, abundance 60.11%) and 716a (isotopic mass 70.9247
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Atomic mass of Gallium is 69.7230 amu

Explanation:

100 atoms of gallium contains 60.11 number of ^{69}\textrm{Ga} atoms and 39.89 number of  ^{71}\textrm{Ga}   atoms.

Therefore  atomic mass of gallium is given by-

\frac{(60.11\times atomic mass of ^{69}\textrm{Ga})+(39.89\times atomic mass of ^{71}\textrm{Ga})}{100}

= \frac{(60.11\times 68.9256 amu)+(39.89\times 70.9247 amu)}{100}

= 69.7230 amu
