Why are folded membranes in cells more effective than unfolded membranes?

Folded membranes in cells are more effective because they have more surface area. The wider area of space allows for more activity to occur without damage to the cell because of membrane's resistance.

Which is an organelle found in the cytoplasm has a smooth outer membrane and greatly folded inner membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum: a series of highly folded membranes, "rough" endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes attached to it. "Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.
Why do the epidermal cells have had there edges folded over?
The epidermal cells have their edges folded over which is part of the structure. This is as a result of the growth factors which makes the cells to proliferate.
Which best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes
How are highly folded membranes an advantage fo the function of cellular parts?
One example ; The brain, if you look at the brain it looks like a lump of wrinkledgrayish tubes, split into sections,. Well imagine if you were to unravel the brain ? you couldn't, but you can 'unfold' it ! when you do this you can then see that it is a carefully folded mass ( for want of a better word!!!) of membranes, vital for the protection of precious brain cells, which unlike other cells in the body, do not replace however some very few compared to the amount of brain cells we have, can repair. So these highly folded membranes are a huge advantage in protecting, and providing the cellular parts .to function correctly and not get confused while in the process of developing the complete cell ,which then as you know has to go on to multiply and fulfill the task that this very special complex little component has been set to do ! So look at the brains folds, and picture one tiny cell, well within that cell are these folded membranes enabling all the tiny cellular parts to take the correct microscopic paths to their correct destination within the cell safely!.....the parts 'function' as they should to produce healthy complete cells.........HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY RAMBLING !!!!!!!..........
What are tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes called?
hat are tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes called?
Large cells work better if they?
are both flat/thin and have folded membranes
What is found only in plant and algae cells that consist of two envelope like membranes that surround a folded inner membrane?
Chloroplast
What cells are found in membranes?
Membranes surround cells. There are no cells found in membranes. Membranes are composed mostly of lipids.
What cells have internal membranes and plasma membranes?
Eukaryotic cells.
Do cheek cells have cell membranes?
yupp cheek cells are animal cells so they have cell membranes

Do eukaryotes in animal cells have cell membranes?
All eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane.
What do typical plant cells have that typical animal cells do no?
Plant cells have Cell Walls, in addition to membranes. Animal cells only have membranes.
Are plasma membranes only found in plant cells?
no animal cells also have plasma membranes
Do both animal and plant cells have semipermeable membranes?
Yes, both animal cells and plant cells have semipermeable membranes.
What are eukaroytic cells surrounded by?
cell membranes and plasma membranes
Why do the epidermal cells have had there edges folded over?
The epidermal cells have their edges folded over which is part of the structure. This is as a result of the growth factors which makes the cells to proliferate.
