What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
They are called cristae. They increase surface area
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 structures increase the surface area for cellular respiration in a mitochondria?
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
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 are the folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cells surface area?
microvilli increase surface area for absorption
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 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.
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?

What are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
Microvilli
What structures increase the surface area for cellular respiration in a mitochondria?
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
Projections of the plasma membrane of the cell that increase the cell's surface area?
microvilli
Why does the mitochondria have folds?
Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.
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 are the folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cells surface area?
microvilli increase surface area for absorption
What part of the cell is a slender extension of plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
microvilli
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.
