What are scroll like extensions that increase the surface of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber known as?
conchae
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrne folded?
The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.
What is the function of micro villi in the kidney?
To increase the surface area of the tubule. It creates a larger surface area for re-absorption to occur, and thus more diffusion can occur at once.
What is the purpose of the villi and microville in the intestinal tract?
The function of the villi is to increase the surface area of the intestine so as to increase its capacity to absorb nutrients and liquid from food passing through it.
Where is the location of epidermis in a plant?
Epidermis in roots: The epidermis in the roots of a plant is the outside layer of a root. It's function is to protect the root.Epidermis in leaves: There is an upper and lower epidermis in the leaves.
What slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
Microvilli:In some cells the membrane is thrown into minute fingerlike projections or folds called microvilli which greatly increase the surface area of the cell available for absorption or passage of materials and for the binding of signaling molecules.
Why do parasitic flatworms have a tegument instead of normal epidermis?
Parasitic flatworms have a modified epidermis called a tegument, which protects against the digestive enzymes and immune response of their host. The tegument is folded to increase surface area and to make absorption of nutrients more efficient.
What are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
Microvilli
What has tiny fingerlike projects that increase a cells absorption capabilities by increasing its surface area?
Villi are tiny fingerlike projects that increase a cells absorption capabilities by increasing its surface area.
What might be the advantage of the folds and coils of the small intestines?
slows down the passage of the food slomg the intestines, and afford an increased surface for absorption. Increase the surface area for the intestines to increase absorption of nutrients
What is the function of projection?
They increase the surface area of small intestine and thus, increase the rate of absorption of food...
What is microvilli'?
Tiny projections on the free surface of some epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
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.
How is ileum of a mammal adapted for the absorption of digested food?
1/ the lining has A a very large surface area. 2/ the length of the intestine (ileum 3.5m) help increase the surface surface area for absorption. 3/ millions of villi provide a large surface area in contact with the digested food. 4/ hundreds of micro villi on the surface cells (on each villus) increase the surface area for absorption. your welcome :)
What are scroll like extensions that increase the surface of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber known as?
conchae
What are the finger like projections in the small intestine that act to increase the surface for absorption?
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
What is silicons texture?
That is a etch process to make a suede surface which will increase the light absorption.
