What organelle has a large amount of surface area?
The Alveoli
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
How does surface area to volume ratio affects an organism?
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
Why is a catalyst spread over a large surface area?
So it is more efficient.
Organelle has a large amount of surface area?
The Alveoli
What organelle has a large amount of surface area?
The Alveoli
What feature of the inner membrane of the mitochondria allows this organelle to produce a great amount of energy?
The inner membrane of mitochondria is highly folded into structures called cristae, which provide a large surface area for the electron transport chain and ATP synthase enzymes to generate energy through oxidative phosphorylation. This increased surface area allows for more efficient production of ATP molecules, the cell's primary energy source.
What feature of the inner membrane of the mitochondria allows this organelle to produced a great amount of energy?
a large surface area
What is the purpose of folds and wrinkles of membranes?
to provide a greater surface area in the organelle (increase surface area)
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
Which will dissolve faster a substance with little surface area or the one with a large surface area?
A substance with a larger surface area will dissolve faster because it provides more contact points for the solvent to interact with, leading to a faster rate of dissolution compared to a substance with little surface area.
Do stilts have a large surface area?
No
Why does a small pin sink wheras a large boat does not?
Because a pin has a small surface area and a boat has a large surface area.
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
What type of cell organelle is similar in structure to a radiator?
Mitochondria are similar in structure to a radiator, with inner and outer membranes resembling the tubes of a radiator. Mitochondria generate energy for the cell in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.
What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
