Question

Two cells have the same volume and similar shape, but one has microvilli extending from its cell membrane while the other does not. The cell without the microvilli would be expected to
be slower at absorbing nutrients than the other cell
have a greater surface area than the other cell
have a faster metabolic rate than the other cell
have a larger than average endomembrane system

Answer 1

be slower at absorbing nutrients than the other cell

Explanation:

The cell without the microvilli will be expected to have as slower absorption rate of nutrient than the other cell.

• Microvilli are finger-like projections from the surface of the cell.
• The structure has a large surface area to volume ratio which allows for nutrient to be absorbed easily.
• These structures are very important during the absorption of digested food in cells.

Cells without this structure will not absorb food faster.
