The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.

What is the structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest?

The structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest is called the food vacuole. The food vacuole is responsible for engulfing and breaking down food particles through the action of digestive enzymes. Once digestion is complete, the protozoan absorbs the nutrients from the food vacuole.

What part of the body the food is most likely to enter the bloodstream?

Which digestive organ is responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients in earthworms?

In earthworms, the digestive organ responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients is the intestine. The intestine is a long, coiled structure where food is further broken down by enzymes and where the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream takes place. The presence of typhlosole, a fold in the intestinal wall, increases the surface area for absorption, making the process more efficient.

Organ responsible for chemical digestion and absorbtion of food?

The small intestine is the organ responsible for both chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. Enzymes and bile break down the food, while nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine's lining into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
