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.
What form parts of cell membranes and many of the cell's organelles?
The answer is proteins.
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 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.

Which microbes have cell membranes?
Every microbe has cell membranes but only plants have plasma membranes...
Do parameciums have cell membranes?
Yes all cells have cell membranes
What supervises substances entering and exiting the cell?
The Cell Membrane
Which of these have very thin cell membranes?
Which of these have very thin cell membranes?
Do cheetahs have cell walls or membranes?
Membranes
Do plants have cell membrane?
Plants have cell membranes just inside their cell walls. The cell membranes control what passes into and out of the cell.
