What is a small finger-like projection in the small intestine called?
They are called villi.Also there are micro villi on villi.
What cellular organelle is a projection that moves substances along the surface of a cell?
cilia
The large folds of tissue in the small intestines that act to increase the surface area and support the villi and micro villi are called?
Plicae circularis.
What is the function of an micro-villus in an animal cell?
Micro-villi are not in animal cells, they are on them. They are very tiny "fingers" that increase the surface area of the cell.
Which nutrient will be absorbed by this small intestine?
micro villi in the jujeum (second part of your small intestine)
What is a easy definition for micro villi?
A micro villi is a micro villi
What are tiny fingerlike projections that cover the folds of the small intestines?
Villi. Also the Villi are covered in Micro-villi - just the same but smaller. The function of them is to increase surface area for absorption.
How do the finger like structures relate to the function of the small intestine?
If you mean the hairs on the cells they are villi and micro-villi
Does micro villi secrete anything?
no
Does plasma membrane contain micro villi?
yes

How do the micro villi help in the absorption of food?
small intestine

Which structure is responsible for the absortion of nutrients from food?
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
What does villi do in the body?
In the intestinal wall, the villi (with micro-villi on them) are used to increase the surface area (just like the inside of your lungs do). This means that in the relatively small space, a lot of the nutrients in the food you eat can be absorbed by them and then diffused into the blood stream.
