Similarly, the nutrients we need for our bodies are not absorbed through the skin of the body surface, but mainly through the small intestine. The wall of the small intestine not only forms many folds to increase the area, but also produces a large amount of villi on the cells of the ...
Why do living organisms need nutrients? Why is microbial antagonism important? Why are cyanobacteria important? Why is the small intestine so long? Why are producers so important to a food chain? Why is the integumentary system important for the body? Why is insect olfaction important? Why is ...
Unlike probiotics, which are extremely sensitive to heat and stomach acid, prebiotics are virtually indestructible in the human body. As much as 90% of ingested prebiotic fiber is eliminated from the small intestine fully intact. This might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually critically ...
