Certain cells, such as those along the digestive tract, need to absorb a lot of materials. What unique functions do you notice a

Answer:

Microvilli is very common in these cells. They increase the absorption area.

Explanation:

Epithelial cell surfaces show different structure shapes that allow the cells to adapt to and accomplish their functions. Most of these structures are related to the absorption surface and the need to move substances.

The development of microvilli is very common in epithelial cells. These are folds or finger-like projections emerging from the apical surface of the cell. <u>Their principal function is to absorb</u>. The microvilli of the intestinal epithelium are very uniform in size and distribution.

What heats up the fastest (in order) wet sand, rock, water, dry sand
dedylja [7]
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
