What relates the root hair cell and small intestine cell?

Both root hair cells and small intestine cells are specialized for absorption. Root hair cells increase the surface area of plant roots, allowing for efficient uptake of water and nutrients from the soil. Similarly, small intestine cells have microvilli that enhance the surface area for absorbing nutrients from digested food. Both cell types exemplify how structural adaptations facilitate their primary functions in nutrient absorption.


Why is intracellular digestion unsuitable?

1. The small intestine is LONG- this ensures food remains in the small intestine long enough for the products of digestion to be fully absorbed into the bloodstrem. 2. The Small intestine is HIGHLY FOLDED into villi (s. villus)- This gives a greater surface area for more efficient diffusion of products into the bloodstream. 3. The small intestine has a RICH BLOOD SUPPLY - Each villus has a network of capillaries so that the products of digestion are carried away from the small intestine efficiently. 4. The epithelium of the small intestine in the villi is only ONE CELL THICK - for easier diffusion of the products of digestion into the bloodstream. The walls of the capillaries are only one cell thick as well!!


Is our Small intestine an organ?

It's an organ. The organ system it belongs to is the digestive system, and it is made up of several types of tissues (epithelial, muscle, etc.), so it can't be a system or tissue in itself.

What cell lines the small intestine assembles fats?

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (organelles) cells are responsible for absorption, synthesis, and transport of fats (in intestinal cells). They catalyze reactions involved in these processes.

What is one way that the small intestine is modified to increase the surface area for digestoin and absorption?

The cell surface which lines the intestines have villi and microvilli. These are finger-like protrusions which increase the surface vastly.
