Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microvilli are small, finger-like projections on the surface of some cells, including the kidney tubules, that increase their surface area for absorption and secretion.

Answer: A or B
 Flagella and cilia are both structures that protrude from the surface of some cells, and they are involved in movement. However, they are not typically found in the kidney tubules, so neither option is a perfect match for the given description.
