- Experiments have been done on mice where they take away nucleic acids from their diets. Their findings showed that the mice without nucleic acids in their diet grew more slowly and also has shorter villi in their small intestines. Why might it make sense that a mouse with shorter intestinal villi would have slower growth? 1-Shorter villi in the small intestine would mean a reduced ability to absorb food only. 2-Shorter villiv inthe small intestine would mean a reduced aboilty to dihgest food and a reduced ability to absorb food. 3-Shorter villi in the small intestine would mean a reduced ability to digest food only. 4-shorter villi in the small intestine would mean a reduced ability to digest food and an increased ability to absorb food.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describe the function of goblet cells in the digestive tract? A. produce mucus that protects parts of the digestive organs from the effects of powerful enzymes needed for food digestion B. secrete buffers in order to keep the pH of the digestive tract close to neutral C. provide protection against invading bacteria and other disease-causing organisms that enter the digestive tract in food D. absorb nutrients from digested food and store them for future usearrow_forwardWhich of the following would you predict to be the consequence of Vitamin B12 deficiency in ruminant animals?
