It gives a cell greater surface area, if they are folded, they are more compact, allowing the cell to do more. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ _______________ Both drawings have 16 segments of the same length. The one above is folded and is able to hold the same in less space, or more in the same space. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ = 16 __________ = 10 (same space, but more area)

The shortened name for folded membranes within the cell is "ER", which stands for endoplasmic reticulum.


How are the folded membranes in mitcochondria an advantage?

The folded membranes in mitochondria, called cristae, provide a larger surface area for cellular respiration to occur. This increased surface area allows for more efficient production of ATP, the cell's energy currency. Consequently, the folded membranes enhance the mitochondria's ability to generate energy for the cell.

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.


Folded membranes do not form compartments in the cell?

Folded membranes, such as cristae in mitochondria or thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts, do create compartments within the cell. These compartments are essential for various cellular processes, including energy production and photosynthesis. The folding increases the surface area available for reactions to occur, improving the efficiency of these processes.


Why are membranes a advantage to a cell?

The membrane allows the cell to keep all its resources and materials together. Otherwise everything would drift away. The cell membrane is permeable to some materials, allowing them to pass through into the cell without energy expenditure. Similarly the membrane is impermeable to some materials. This allows the cell to do things like create a charge or concentration gradient by using active transport of the material. This is how cells maintain their Na and K concentrations which is very important to cell function.
