What else can I help you with?
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 cell increases the membrane surface area?
microvilli
What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli are plasma membrane extensions that create the most surface area for the cell. These finger-like projections are found in cells involved in absorption, such as the cells lining the small intestine, and increase the cell's ability to transport nutrients.
How does the folded membrane absorb the maximum amount of food needed?
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
What makes up the surface area of a cell?
The cell membrane.
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 happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
Gases diffuse most efficiently across a respiratory membrane if the membrane is?
thin and moist, with a large surface area and a large concentration gradient.
What cell increases the membrane surface area?
microvilli
What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli are plasma membrane extensions that create the most surface area for the cell. These finger-like projections are found in cells involved in absorption, such as the cells lining the small intestine, and increase the cell's ability to transport nutrients.
What are folds of the cell membrane on the free surface?
The folds on the free surface of a cell membrane are called microvilli. They increase the surface area of the cell membrane, allowing for greater absorption of nutrients and molecules. Microvilli are commonly found in cells that are involved in absorption, such as in the lining of the small intestine.
How does the folded membrane absorb the maximum amount of food needed?
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
What is the purpose of the folded layers of membrane?
To increase the surface area.
What makes up the surface area of a cell?
The cell membrane.
Which membrane would have more surface area?
can someone answer the question
Why the inner membrane has many folds?
This greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The folded inner membrane of the mitochondria, known as cristae, increases the surface area available for cellular respiration reactions. This allows for more efficient production of ATP, the cell's primary energy source.
