Question

Examine the collection of drawings shown. The top drawings (green) show the outer covering of a root. The bottom drawing (red) shows the epithelial cells lining the small intestine, in which digested food enters the bloodstream. Which statement is an inference you can make about the physical characteristic shared by these two cells to help them carry out their function?

sorry don't have the picture but it's asking about the similarities between the epidermal and epithelial cells.

a)The cells do not share a common function because one is from a plant and the other is from an animal.

b)The cells are specialized to have a higher surface area to increase absorption of nutrients.

c)The cell structure allows both types of cells to create more energy at the site of absorption.
