Question: Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about villi? a. Villi provide important contact points for nutrients to encounter enzymes that break them down into smaller, easily absorbed molecules.    \n  b. Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine.    \n  c. There are fewer villi in the large intestine than in the small intestine, because there is less absorption.    \n  d. Villi contain the capillaries and lymph capillaries (lacteals) where digested nutrients are absorbed and then transported around the body.

Answer: c, because there are NO villi in the large intestine. All the large intestine does is reabsorb water from the waste materials left over after digestion.
