Solution

To answer this question, we need to know the dimensions of the villus and the microvilli. However, I can explain the general steps you would take to calculate this.

  1. Calculate the surface area of the flat surface model. This will typically be a simple length x width calculation if the surface is rectangular.

  2. Calculate the surface area of a single villus. This is typically done using the formula for the surface area of a cylinder (2πrh + 2πr²) because villi are generally cylindrical in shape. You would need the radius (r) and height (h) of the villus for this calculation.

  3. Calculate the surface area of a single microvillus using the same formula as in step 2. You would need the radius and height of the microvillus for this calculation.

  4. Multiply the surface area of a single microvillus by 7 to get the total surface area of all the microvilli on one villus.

  5. Add the surface area of the villus and the total surface area of the microvilli to get the total increased surface area from adding one villus with 7 microvilli.

  6. Finally, add this total increased surface area to the original surface area of the flat surface model to get the new total surface area.
