They are located in the small intestine and help with absorption of nutrients from digested food. They also increase a cells surface area
What is the purpose of the microvilli in the proximal convoluted tubule?
Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
How can you increase the surface to volume ratio of a basketball and a tennis ball?
The tennis ball. But do you know why? The anser to that is in the relationship between the fomula for a shere's volum and that of it's surface area. Area is a radius squared function whereas volume is a radius cubed function.
