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.
