The presence of villi and blood capillaries in the small intestine makes which combined function effective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorption and transport of nutrients
Villi are finger-like projections that greatly enlarge the inner surface of the small intestine. Digested nutrients pass through their thin lining, and the network of blood capillaries carries absorbed sugars, amino acids, minerals, and other soluble substances away. Therefore option A correctly combines absorption with transport. Urine formation, lung gas entry, and stomatal movement occur in different organs or structures.
