Why lipids must be absorbed by lacteals rather than the blood capillaries within a villus?

Biology
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Digested food is able to pass into the blood vessels in the wall of the small intestine through the process of diffusion. The inner wall, or mucosa, of the small intestine is covered in wrinkles or folds called plicae circulares that project microscopic finger-like pieces of tissue called villi, which in turn have finger-like projections known as microvilli. The function of the plicae circulares, the villi, and the microvilli is to increase the amount of surface area available for the absorption of nutrients.

Each villus transports nutrients to a network of capillaries and fine lymphatic vessels called lacteals close to its surface.

Consider a hypothetical food chain consisting of grass, rabbits, and foxes. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units.
STALIN [3.7K]

The maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level is 0 units.

A food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing – from unicellular algae to giant blue whales – needs food to survive. Every food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can travel through an ecosystem. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. There is a 10 fold decrease in the amount of energy units as we move upwards in production chain. So from grass to rabbits we lose energy. The foxes will only really have two units once it's decreased by 10 fold again. The grass does not get any energy from the decaying bodies of foxes, they get the minerals that they need to grow.  And so the correct answer to this question is 0 units because when the energy gets recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level it will be totally reduced.

Note: The question seems to be incomplete. So the complete question is "Consider a hypothetical food chain consisting of grass, rabbits, and foxes. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. What is the maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from the fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level? Answer choices: A) 0 units B) 0.2 units C) 2 units D) 20 units"
