Thin walled extensions of root epidermis that increase surface area for absorption?
root hair
What are four ways that chemists control the rates of chemical reactions?
Increase in Surface area,Increase in temperature,Increase in concentration,and the presence of catalysts or inhibitors.
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrne folded?
The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.
What is the function of micro villi in the kidney?
To increase the surface area of the tubule. It creates a larger surface area for re-absorption to occur, and thus more diffusion can occur at once.
What is the purpose of the villi and microville in the intestinal tract?
The function of the villi is to increase the surface area of the intestine so as to increase its capacity to absorb nutrients and liquid from food passing through it.
What has tiny fingerlike projects that increase a cells absorption capabilities by increasing its surface area?
Villi are tiny fingerlike projects that increase a cells absorption capabilities by increasing its surface area.
The purpose of the nasal conchae is to to enhance the air turbulence in the cavity and to increase the mucosal surface area exposed to the air?
yes
What might be the advantage of the folds and coils of the small intestines?
slows down the passage of the food slomg the intestines, and afford an increased surface for absorption. Increase the surface area for the intestines to increase absorption of nutrients
What is the function of projection?
They increase the surface area of small intestine and thus, increase the rate of absorption of food...
What is microvilli'?
Tiny projections on the free surface of some epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What is the purpose of the microvilli in the proximal convoluted tubule?
Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
How is ileum of a mammal adapted for the absorption of digested food?
1/ the lining has A a very large surface area. 2/ the length of the intestine (ileum 3.5m) help increase the surface surface area for absorption. 3/ millions of villi provide a large surface area in contact with the digested food. 4/ hundreds of micro villi on the surface cells (on each villus) increase the surface area for absorption. your welcome :)
What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
What is silicons texture?
That is a etch process to make a suede surface which will increase the light absorption.
What substances in the small intestine of humans serve to increase the surface area for absorption?
Villi
What is one way that the small intestine is modified to increase the surface area for digestoin and absorption?
The cell surface which lines the intestines have villi and microvilli. These are finger-like protrusions which increase the surface vastly.
