Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microvilli are finger-like projections that extend from the surface of cells, including the cells of the small intestine. They increase the surface area of the cells, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients from the digestive tract. Mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes are all organelles involved in various cellular processes but are not directly related to nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
