Do cells in villi uptake glucose by active transport?
yes but sometimes no
What does 'villi' have to do with respiration?
Glucose is absorbed from the food in our small intestine. Inside the small intestine we have small finger like structures called villi. The glucose is absorbed by the villi. The glucose is absorbed (moves through) the villi and enter our blood system. Glucose is transported by our blood to all the cells in our bodies. Respiration takes place in our cells (in the mitochondria of cells). Respiration is where glucose (our bodies fuel) combines with oxygen (we breath in) to give us ENERGY, carbon dioxide and water.
How does nutrients enter your blood stream?
through cells in the villi of the small intestine
What are the long thin cells that anchor mosses to the ground?
Rhizoid
What could you infer about the body's ability to supply nutrients to its cells if the small intestine did not have villi?
I have noo idea
What are cells purpose?
To support a living organism
What is a cells purpose?
to support a living organism
Where are villi located and what purpose do they serve?
Villi are located in the large intestine. They absorb excess water.
What is the function of villi cells in the intestines?
the villi vastly increases the surface area for the absoption of food.
What cells belong in the digestive system?
Villi
What is the purpose of cell?
To support a living organism
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 the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
What does the intestine wall made of?
Epithelial cells called villi
How do osmosis and villi play a role in feeding cells the glucose they need?
Osmosis occurs in the small intestines which contain the villi. There are blood vessels connected to the villi so nutrients/glucose in the small intestines diffuses through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in the blood vessel.
What is the purpose of a chorionic villi sampling?
The tissue can be tested for genetic defects.
Do cells in villi uptake glucose by active transport?
yes but sometimes no
