Answer: D. increase surface area

Explanation:

  • Microvilli are hairs that aid in absorption of nutrients.  In the small intestine, these cells contain microvilli, which are tiny hair-like projections that increase nutrient absorption. These projections increase the surface area of the small intestine allowing more area for nutrients to be absorbed.

g Classify the statements as describing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA RNA is a single molecule that
zmey [24]

Answer:

DNA:

- is a single molecule that can be over 10,000,000 nucleotides long

- is usually double stranded  

- includes the base thymine

- is the genome for prokaryotic organisms

RNA:

- can be translated into a protein  

- is usually single stranded  

- includes ribose sugar  

- is a single molecule that can form a complex secondary structure

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary genetic material of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, while RNA is the genetic material of many viruses. DNA is a double helix molecule composed of four types of nucleotides: a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine), a five-carbon sugar (i.e., deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. On the other hand, RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule whose nucleotides contain ribose sugars and Uracil bases replace Thymine bases. During translation, a type of RNA molecule referred to as messenger RNA (mRNA) is used as template to direct the synthesis of a polypeptide chain (protein). This RNA molecule can fold to form stable double-stranded RNA hairpins (i.e., secondary structures).
