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 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 organelle has a lot of surface area?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a lot of surface area due to its membrane structure, which folds and extends extensively throughout the cell. This large surface area allows for important cellular processes such as protein synthesis and lipid metabolism to occur efficiently.
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
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.
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. :)
Name one organ in your body which has a large surface area?
The skin is an organ in the body that has a large surface area as it covers the entire external surface of the body.
What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
