- Figure 34.12 Which of the following statements about the small intestine is false? Absorptive cells that line the small intestine have microvilli, small projections that increase surface area and aid in the absorption of food. The inside of the small intestine has many folds, called villi. Microvilli are lined with blood vessels as well as lymphatic vessels. The inside of the small intestine is called the lumen.arrow_forwardFigure 34.19 Which of the following statements about digestive processes is true? Amylase, maltaseT and lactase in the mouth digest carbohydrates. Trypsin and lipase in the stomach digest protein. Bile emulsifies lipids in the small intestine. No food is absorbed until the small intestine.arrow_forwardThe small intestine of the pig has significantly more surface area (through folds and villi) than that of the frog, and if you were to remove them, the small intestine of the pig is several times longer than that of the frog. This additional surface area maximizes nutrient absorption by the pig. Why might the pig need more energy from its food than the frog?arrow_forward
