What does microvilli do in a cell?
Microvilli (singular: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area of cells. They are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
What cell increases the membrane surface area?
microvilli
Why are micro-villi an important modification?
Microvillus are tiny cellular membranes that through microscopic protrusions increase the surface area of cells and are involved in many cellular processes, such as absorption, secretion, and adhesion.
Microvilli on the surface of the villi greatly increase the internal surface area of the?
small intestine
What structure provides a large surface are for absorption in the ileum?
microvilli
Increase the membrane surface area?
You may be talking about microvilli.
What are the folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cells surface area?
microvilli increase surface area for absorption
What does microvilli do in a cell?
Microvilli (singular: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area of cells. They are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
Why cell needs microvilli like structures?
Microvilli are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area of cells and are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
What is the purpose of the microvilli in the proximal convoluted tubule?
Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
What are folds of the cell membrane on the free surface?
The folds of the cell membrane on the free surface are known as microvilli. These folds will help in increasing the surface area of the cell membrane.
What cell increases the membrane surface area?
microvilli
Why are micro-villi an important modification?
Microvillus are tiny cellular membranes that through microscopic protrusions increase the surface area of cells and are involved in many cellular processes, such as absorption, secretion, and adhesion.
Microvilli on the surface of the villi greatly increase the internal surface area of the?
small intestine
What structure increase surface area for absorption of nutrients?
Microvilli, villi, plicae circulares, if choosing just one i would go with microvilli because the tremendously increase the surface area for absorption in the absorptive cell
The surface area of the small intestine is increased by?
microvilli
What structure provides a large surface are for absorption in the ileum?
microvilli
