In liver cells the inner motochodrial membranes are about 5x the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and about 17x that of the cell's plasma membrane what purpose must this serve?
It increases the surface for oxidative phosphoryation.
What organelles inside the cell have membranes with many convolution and why?
The mitochondria has a membrane with many convolutions because it increases the surface area for ATP synthesis
What is a tissue membrane?
Since cell membrane encloses a cell and regulates in and out functions of a cell, similarly a tissue membrane regulates in and out functions of a tissue.
Do ribosomes have cell membranes?
No they don't have a cell membrane
Photosynthetic bacterial membranes are located in the?
Plasma Membrane

What is the purpose of the inner mitochondrial membranes being five times the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and 17 times that of the cells plasma membrane?
It increases the surface for oxidative phosphorylation
What is plural of membrane?
The plural of membrane is membranes.
What are the differences between the plasma membrane and other membranes?
plasma membrane and other membranes are the same

Since cell membrane encloses a cell and regulates in and out functions of a cell, similarly a tissue membrane regulates in and out functions of a tissue.
What is the structure of a mitochondrion?
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.
Is a membrane a tissue?
There are four different membranes in the body that are related to tissue; cutaneous membranes, mucosal membranes, synovial membranes, and serous membranes.
What membranes are called wet membranes?
Mucous membranes or mucosae are "wet" membranes. This is because they are continously bathed by secretions, except the mucous membranes of the urinary tract that is continously bathed with urine. Mucous, serous, and synovial
What is a cell membrane of?
There are multiple membranes in a cell. Two of them are the cell membrane and the nucleur membrane.
Epithelial membranes is known as the blood-facing membrane?
Basolateral membrane
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
