How does the internal surface of the colon compare with the internal surface of the small intestine?
Small intestine has lots and lots of villi and microvilli for absorption, large intestine absorbs water and it has lots and lots of goblet cells that produce mucus so it's easier to remove waste (aka poop)
Which comes first on the grasshopper the small intestine or large intestine?
Food enters the small intestine first. It enters the duodenum in the small intestine.
How do organelles contribute to the function of cells?
If a cell has a relatively large number of, say, mitochondria (sites of respiration), than we know that it needs to release a lot of energy. This applies to the muscles, which have many mitochondria in order for them to contract. This helps us move. Cells where active transport occurs, such as the kidneys and small intestine, also need lots of mitochondria to give off the energy that is necessary for this to take place. You won't find as many mitochondria in a skin cell, because these don't need to carry out respiration.
What describes the ileum of the small intestine?
The ileum of the small intestine is directly attached to the large intestine. It forms the majority of the small intestine. It is C-shaped and short. It is the middle portion of the small intestine. It is at the beginning of the small intestine.
Do earthworms have a large and small intestine?
Yes, an earthworm has a large intestine and a small intestine.

What organs are connected to the stomach?
your esophagus and small intestine are attached to your stomach.
Why is Mitochondria compared to the small intestine?
The mitochondria in every cell are like a cells digestive system because they take nutrients from their surroundings and create energy about of them. People could not like without a digestive system and mitchondria. The energy that all animals need to survive is called ATP.
Which comes first on the grasshopper the small intestine or large intestine?
Food enters the small intestine first. It enters the duodenum in the small intestine.
Can you breath though your butt?
No. The anus only serves as an exit for waste. There are often large obstructions in the large intestine, in addition to impassable sphincters separating the large and small intestine and the small intestine and the stomach, and the presence of lots of liquids in the small intestine and the stomach. You can breath through your mouth, your nose, or (in the case of some smokers) a small recessed hole in the neck directly connected to the windpipe.

What is on top of your small intestine?
The large intestine is on top of your small intestine.
Why is the small intestine called small intestine?
It compared in size to the large intestine it is about twice as small
The major site of nutrient absorption in the body is the?
The major site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine.
Why is the small intestine small?
The small intestine is said to be small because it's diameter is not as large as the large intestine.
What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
