What can smooth out a rough surface?
Depends on the surface, sandpaper usually.
What is a very smooth surface able to clearly reflect light to form a virtual image?
That surface would be called a "mirror".
If a person is in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected the person would hear a sound that?
The answer should seem to come from behind the surface.
What type of surface is better for a flat roof-a Matt dark surface or a smooth shiny surface?
A matt surface, because it would absorb the sunlight and provide the necessary insulation for the house.
What would happen to your body's absorption rate of the intestines if villi had no microvilli?
If the villi of the intestines had no microvilli, the absorption rate of the intestines would be significantly reduced. Microvilli are tiny finger-like projections on the surface of the villi that increase the surface area for absorption. Without microvilli, there would be less surface area available for nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a decrease in absorption efficiency.
What is the function of an epithelium that is smooth on its free surface compared to an epithelium with a folded free surface made up of micro-villi?
Secretion is one of epithelium's major functions. However, if there are microvilli, they are used for absorption. Regular epithelium would be in our skin, and epithelium with microvilli would be in the digestive tract.
What do villi do in the small intestine?
Surface area is the amount of surface that is exposed in a space. For instance, a sheet of flat paper covers the same amount of area as a bigger piece of crumpled up paper, but the bigger piece of paper has more surface area. Folding and crumpling surfaces up makes it easy to fit more surface area into a smaller space. Since villi are very tiny folds that stick out from the small intestines, more surface area is fit inside a smaller space. If you were to "flatten out" all the little villi of the small intestines it would cover a football field. Not so if the inside of the intestine were smooth.
What would happen to our body's absorption rate of the intestines if villi had no microvilli?
it goes down
Can you live without villi?
Digestion would be much slower because of the decrease in surface area.
What happens if the small intestine was smooth rather than covered with villi?
You would slowly starve and die, no matter how much you ate.
What would happen if there was no villi in humans body?
The villi vastly increase the effective surface area of the small intestine, allowing nutrients to be rapidly absorbed. Without them, the process would take longer, perhaps prohibitively longer. If the reduction in surface meant slower motion of the food, it might become necessary to eat more frequently to provide the same nutrients, and this would also mean more food bulk within the intestines at any given time. This can already be observed in individuals who have lost part of their digestive systems to injury or disease, and have to adjust their type of food intake (predigested) or limit their activities because insufficient calories are absorbed in the jejunum.
Why would you use oil on a smooth surface?
friction reduction
What geometric term would you use to describe the surface Of a window?
Smooth

Why would your digestive system be less efficent if your small intestines had no villi?
Villi provide much more surface area to absorb nutrients. Without them, either digestion would take a very long time or much of the nutritional value of food would be lost.
When people eat foods made of wheat a reaction destroys the villi in the small intestine what problem would you expect these people to experience?
IF the villi disappeared, THEN the patient would suffer from malnutrition, as the surface area would be markedly reduced. BUT why should wheat cause such a reaction?
