Not really "why" answers, but: # food, nutrients, oxygen (or compounds from which oxygen is harvested), and to expell wastes... to permit life. # some organisms transmit nuclear material as part of sexual reproduction. # Diseases organisms such as virus and fungus will also pass through (or chew through) the cell membrane.

How does the villi help the small intestine to absorb sugars quickly?

Surface Area and DiffusionThe small intestine is all about maximizing surface area. The immense amount of folding enables it to be very long meaning more surface area. The villi further increases surface area. They are projections that provide even more membrane surface area that food, while passing through the small intestine, will come in contact with. This contact with the membrane of the small intestine is how absorption occurs. Nutrients that are used in the body will diffuse across the intestinal membrane into the blood stream because the concentration will be high inside the intestine and low in the blood plasma. This difference in concentration is what "drives" diffusion across the membrane.
