What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli.
Does the cristae increase or decrease the surface area of the inner membrane?
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.
What cell increases the membrane surface area?
microvilli
What can increase or decrease the rate of diffusion?
increasing the surface area of the membrane
How does the folded membrane absorb the maximum amount of food needed?
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli.
Does the cristae increase or decrease the surface area of the inner membrane?
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.
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.
What happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
What is the function of the soft endoplasmic reticulum of a plant cell?
It has ribosomes on its membrane and provides surface area for protein synthesis.
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
What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The folded inner membrane of the mitochondria greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
They are called cristae. They increase surface area
What is the purpose of the folded layers of membrane?
To increase the surface area.
Which membrane would have more surface area?
can someone answer the question
What makes up the surface area of a cell?
The cell membrane.
