Question

which of the following structures would aid a cell in allowing more nutrients to be absorbed by the cell? a) primary cilia b) flagella c) microvilli d) stereocilia

Explanation:

Microvilli are tiny, finger - like projections on the cell surface that increase the surface area of the cell. This increased surface area allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients. Primary cilia are mainly sensory organelles, flagella are for cell movement, and stereocilia are mainly involved in sensory functions in certain specialized cells (like in the inner ear), not primarily in nutrient absorption.

Answer:

C. microvilli
