Ever wish you could see what the inside of your body looks like?
___ Q. In fact, the area is so big that if that folds and villi were flattened and spread out, the inner surface of the small intestine alone would be enough to cover half a basketball court.
___ R. This is because the lining of the small intestine is actually a series of folds covered with thousands of tiny protruding "fingers" called villi.
___ S. In fact, if you were small enough to walk along the inside of your intestines, you'd find yourself in a landscape of hills and valleys.
___ T. They provide the massive surface area needed for absorbing vital food nutrients.
___ U. These villi and folds work together.
I think S is first, then R, Q, T, and U. Is it correct? What do you think the correct order is?
I agree with your first three. But I think that U comes before T.
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome. :-)
No it s r u t q
i got s r u t q
It would start off with s then r but you put u first because you talked about folds and villi and you need to continue that topic with them working together. Then it's t because you talk about how the villi and folds work together to create the massive surface area for absorbing nutrients and q lastly because you describe the massive surface area.
The correct order of the statements is S, R, U, T, Q.
Statement S mentions that if you were able to walk along the inside of your intestines, you would find a landscape of hills and valleys, implying that the inside of the body is quite complex.
Statement R explains that the lining of the small intestine is a series of folds covered with tiny protruding "fingers" called villi.
Statement U states that these villi and folds work together, suggesting a connection between them.
Statement T states that the villi and folds provide the massive surface area needed for absorbing vital food nutrients, which allows us to understand the purpose of the folds and villi mentioned in the previous statements.
Finally, statement Q states that the area inside the small intestine is so large that if the folds and villi were flattened and spread out, the inner surface of the small intestine alone would be enough to cover half a basketball court. This statement supports the previous statements concerning the complexity and size of the inside of the body.
