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 part of the cell is a slender extension of plasma membrane that increase its surface area?
microvilli
What slender extensions increases the plasma membrane's surface?
well the cell wall gets defaced when the membrane collapses on top of the nucleus and the plasma implodes so for slender extention to occur you must use a bio infiltrate to decompose the cell around the area of the hagridicus beardicus and therefor so forth and what have you.
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 are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?

What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli.
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?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
Thin walled extensions of root epidermis that increase surface area for absorption?
root hair
What are scroll like extensions that increase the surface of the lateral walls of the nasal chamber known as?
conchae

Increase the membrane surface area?
You may be talking about microvilli.
