can someone answer the question
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
This greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
The inner membrane of mitochondria is highly folded or ruffled to increase its surface area, allowing for more space for enzymes and proteins involved in energy production to be located. This increased surface area facilitates more efficient production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
Membrane infolding is a process in which the cell membrane folds in on itself, creating internal compartments or structures within the cell. This folding increases the surface area of the membrane, allowing for more efficient transport of molecules and signaling within the cell. It is a common phenomenon in cells to increase membrane surface area for various functions such as nutrient uptake or organelle formation.
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
The surface area to volume ratio increases when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane. This increase allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the surroundings because there is more surface area available for interactions.
Having folded membranes increases the surface area available for biochemical reactions and cellular processes to occur. This allows for more efficient exchange of materials and communication within the cell. Additionally, it provides a compartmentalized environment that can separate different biochemical processes, optimizing cellular functions.
This greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
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.
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
The infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration to take place.
The folding of the mucosal membrane increases the surface area of your small intestine, thus allowing more nutrients to be absorbed.
Diffusion is the movement of particles across a selectively permeable membrane, from a high concentration to a low concentration. So the larger the surface area, the quicker the rate of diffusion because there is more space to diffuse in.
The inner membrane of mitochondria is highly folded or ruffled to increase its surface area, allowing for more space for enzymes and proteins involved in energy production to be located. This increased surface area facilitates more efficient production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

To increase material movement without taking more space, you could introduce more transport proteins in the membrane to facilitate faster movement of molecules. Increasing the fluidity of the membrane by incorporating more unsaturated fatty acids could also enhance diffusion rates. Finally, adding more microvilli or cilia on the cell surface would increase surface area for material exchange without increasing cell size.
