This is a very simple question with rather a complication set of answers. Movement of some molecules or substances across a membrane only increases between the temperatures of 1 to 37 degrees Celsius (in most organism/cellular systems). At temp. greater than 37 Celsius the membrane proteins involved in transport become denatured. One has to consider the main processes of movement of substances across a membrane i.e ranging from passive diffusion and osmosis and including active transport systems and end/exocytosis etc.

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.


What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?

An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.


What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?

The layer that increases temperature is stratosphere. The ozone lies within.

microvilli increase surface area for absorption


In which layers of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing height?

The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.


What is the effect of high temperature on purple cabbage membrane?

The cabbage membrane gets darker as the temperature begins to increase. 65 degrees Celsius and above may cause the membrane proteins to be destroyed, hence the color change.

Two changes in plasma membranes that could result in an increase in the rate of glucose?

To increase the absorption of glucose by a cell through plasma membrane two things can be done.One is treating cell membrane with chemicals that will distort the structure of cell membrane and then incubating the sample overnight at 37 degree Celsius.Another approach is giving electric shock to cell membrane.


How does temperature correlate to the permeability of the cell membrane?

Cell membranes act very much like a fluid on a molecular level. The phospholipids move around each other with relative ease, making the membrane flexible. With an increase in temperature, the molecular movement will increase throughout the membrane thus leading to looser fits among molecules and a more permeable membrane.
