Question
Chapter 41.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether an extensive surface area is important only for animals, or it also provides advantages to other living organisms.
Introduction: The folds, convolutions, or extensions overcome the challenge to pack the extensive surface area in a confined space. For example, in human intestine finger-like extensions, villi increase the surface area for absorption of food.
