Cells in our intestines play important roles. One function they have is to absorb water that will then be transported to other parts of the body. Their ability to absorb water efficiently is quite important. These cells have villi, or small protrusions in their cells that increase their surface area. What characteristics would improve a cell’s surface to volume ratio? Choose three options.

Increase the surface area but keep the volume relatively the same.
Increase the length of the cell in order to increase both surface area and volume.
Divide a cell into many, increasing the surface area.
Increase the volume of a cell.
Change the shape to one that has a better surface to volume ratio.
