A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.

What is folded membrane extending out from the nucleus?
cell Membrane
What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.
Folded membranes do not form compartments in the cell?
No, all cytoplasmic compartments are formed from the 'pinching off of folded membrane segments'.
What is the double folded membrane that surrounds the lungs?
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.
What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
What is folded membrane extending out from the nucleus?
cell Membrane
How do the folded membrane of the cells in the lining of the intestine enable them to absorb the maximum amount of digested food?
All cells has plasma,they are very important!!!
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)

What is the purpose of the folded layers of membrane?
To increase the surface area.
What is a membrane system of folded sacs and tunnels?
Golgi body
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
What is the advantage of having a folded membrane surrounding the cell or within the cytoplasm or within organelles?
It increases the surface area of the cell membrane. By having more surface area, more matter can be moved in and out of the cell.
Folded membranes do not form compartments in the cell?
No, all cytoplasmic compartments are formed from the 'pinching off of folded membrane segments'.
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.
What is the double folded membrane that surrounds the lungs?
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.
