What slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area?

Microvilli are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area. They are found in cells involved in absorption, such as in the small intestine, where they help in increasing the efficiency of nutrient absorption.


What slender extensions increases the plasma membrane's surface?

Microvilli are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area for absorption and secretion. They are commonly found in cells that are involved in absorption, such as epithelial cells in the intestine and kidney.


What is the difference between cell surface membrane and plasma membrane?

Is when extensions of the plasma membrane surround a macro-molecule?

That is called endocytosis, specifically phagocytosis when the macro-molecule is a solid particle or pinocytosis when it is a liquid. In this process, the plasma membrane surrounds the molecule to form a vesicle, which then enters the cell.
