Roots are plant organs that?
that absorb water and minerals
What are the microscopic hairs on your taste buds called and what do they do?
They are not actually hairs but hair-like projections that increase the surface area of your taste buds, gustatory organs, and they are called cilia.
What type of cells lines organs?
Epithelial cells line the inner surface of organs.
Do parietal membranes cover the surface of organs?
No
Why small organs of cell have larger metabolic activity compared to larger organs?
Small organs have high surface area:volume ratio.So they are active than large organs.
Which two structures increase the surface area of their organs?
hut hut

What organ doesn't absorb nutrients?
The mouth is one of the organs of the digestive tract that doesn't absorb nutrients. Another is the esophagus.
What organs help absorb digested food and water?
large intestine
How do nutrients from food get to the organs?
Once the food enters the stomach, acids come in and absorb those nutrients and bring them to the organs

Each of the villi is lined with capillaries and with a lacteal which absorb?
In the small intestine most food is digested. The digestive system's organs work to make the food you eat soluble, so your body can absorb the energy (glucose). Once the churned up food is in the small intestine which is covered in villus (like a brush) the microvilli on the villus, to increase the surface area further, absorb all of the soluble glucose. Inside of the villus are capillaries that absorb most of the churned up food. But fatty acids called LIPID cannot be absorbed, so the lacteal running though the middle of the villus absorbs the fatty acids. :) hope that helped
