Why do cells have membranes with many convolutions?
Cell membranes have many convolutions because they increasee the surface area to volume ratio, thus increasing the diffusion rate.
The convolutions on the cerebrum's surface is called?
Convolutions on the cerebrum surface is called
What do convolutions do?
Convolutions create a greater surface area within the same size skull
What are the projections on the inner membrane of a mitochondria called?
The convolutions in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are referred to as the cristae. Mitochondrion refers to an organelle found in most cells whereby energy production and respiration takes place.
What is the explanation for the fact that most cells are small and have cell membranes with many convolutions?
Small cells are better able to transport material more efficiently. Many convolutions increase the surface area of the cell, thus allowing for more interactions between the cell and its environment. A large cell has greater volume to its surface area and if this is too large, it will not get enough protein and oxygen.
Convolutions of the brain provide increased what?
The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.
The surface of the cerebrum is folded into elevations that resemble speed bumps are called what?
convolutions or gyri
Significance of convolutions?
it make the cerebral cortex gray.
What are the valleys separating the convolutions on the surface of the cerebrum?
Sulci
What are the depressions between the convolutions of the cerebrum?
The answer is sulcus.
What is the definitions of convolutions and sulci?
convolutions: a form or part that is folded or coiled; one of the convex folds of the surface of the brain.Sulci: a shallow groove, such as that between gyri on the brain surface.
What are the convolutions of the brain?
The convolutions in the cerebrum increase surface area
