Cells. You need to be able to use your knowledge of the structure of cells and the function of the organelles to interpret electronmicrographs of cells. In particular the epithelial cells lining the small intestine. These are cells which are specialised for absorbing the products of digestion. They will therefore have a large surface area provided by the microvilli and due to the need for active transport across their cell membranes they will contain a large number of mitochondria providing them with ATP. Epithelial cells also secrete enzymes and other proteins.
