Question

correctly match the term and definition: microvilli. small, barrel - shaped structures oriented at right angles to each other; form the bases of cilia and flagella long, cellular projections that are tail - like and aid in propulsion tiny fingerlike projections of the plasma membrane; increase surface area for absorption motile cellular extensions found in large numbers in some epithelial cells i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definition of microvilli. Microvilli are tiny, finger - like projections of the plasma membrane. Their main function is to increase the surface area available for absorption. Let's analyze the other options:

• The first option describes centrioles (small, barrel - shaped structures related to cilia and flagella bases), not microvilli.
• The second option describes flagella (long, tail - like projections for propulsion), not microvilli.
• The fourth option describes cilia (motile extensions in epithelial cells), not microvilli.

So the correct definition for microvilli is "Tiny fingerlike projections of the plasma membrane; increase surface area for absorption".

Answer:

The option with the text "Tiny fingerlike projections of the plasma membrane; increase surface area for absorption" (the third option among the non - "I DON'T KNOW YET" options).
