cell membrane aka plasma membrane
The diffrence is that the cell membrane is just a barrier between the exterior enviroment and the interior of the cell, while the cell surface membrane exerts control over what enters/leaves the cell! :)
The protein that projects from the outer surface of the membrane is termed as an extrinsic or peripheral membrane protein. These proteins are not embedded within the lipid bilayer but instead are attached to the surface of the membrane.
Bile salts produced by the liver break down fats into smaller globules in the small intestine. This process, called emulsification, increases the surface area of fats, making it easier for enzymes to break them down further into individual fatty acids for absorption.
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.

The [mucosal] Pleural membrane.

Antigens are surface membrane molecules that cause an immune reaction.
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.
Adding a detergent to a solution with large globules of lipids helps break them down into smaller globules due to the detergent's ability to lower surface tension. This allows the lipids to disperse more evenly in the solution, improving their solubility and making it easier to wash away dirt and grime from surfaces.
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.
Lipases perform a process called emulsification which breaks fat globules into smaller particles. This gives more surface area for the enzymes to then break the oils into fatty acids.
This is called meandering, which refers to the winding or curving path taken by wind or ocean currents as they flow. This meandering is influenced by various factors such as the Coriolis effect, friction with the Earth's surface, and changing temperatures.
the membrane on the surface of the lung is called the parietal pleura, but the membrance that lines the lungs themselves are called the visceral pleura.
