Blood in the villi helps to absorb nutrients and sugar molecules.

Nutrients from food are absorbed.

Fat is broken down into smaller droplets.

Most of the digestion that occurs in the small intestines occurs in the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestines. This is where fats are broken down into smaller droplets by emulsifiers and lipases. Absorption takes place in the other parts through the villi.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.  

i believe your answer would be c.. : )
