It gives a cell greater surface area, if they are folded, they are more compact, allowing the cell to do more. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ _______________ Both drawings have 16 segments of the same length. The one above is folded and is able to hold the same in less space, or more in the same space. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ = 16 __________ = 10 (same space, but more area)

What is a series of folded membranes that move materials around the cell?
Endoplsmic Recticulum. There are two types of ER. The rough and smooth ER. The rough ER is dotted with ribosomes.
Why does the onion mixture processed through the blender?
The blending breaks down the cell walls, cell membranes and nuclear membranes allowing the release of DNA.
Where are phospholipids primarily found in the body?
The main component of cell membranes are made up of phospholipids. In fact, another name for the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.
How are organisms in the domain Eukarya different from those in the domain Archaea?
Archaea have no nucleus
What are various mechanisms by which substances cross membranes?
there are many different types of mechanisms that can make thing cross cell membranes two of these are by diffusing and active transport.
Do folded membranes form compartments in the cell?
Yes
Why are folded membranes in cells more effective than unfolded membranes?
Folded membranes in cells are more effective because they have more surface area. The wider area of space allows for more activity to occur without damage to the cell because of membrane's resistance.
Series of folded membranes that move materials around in the cell?
it is the ribosome
What is a series of folded membranes that moves materials around in a cell?
The mitochondria
A series of folded membranes that move materials around the cell?
It is endoplasmic reticulum.
What is made of folded membranes that move materials around in the cell?
endoplasmic reticulum
Shortened name for folded membranes within the cell?
ER: endoplasmc recticulum
What is the shortened name for the folded membranes within the cell?
ER: endoplasmic reticulum
The shortened name for the folded membranes within the cell?
ER: endoplasmic reticulum
Folded membranes do not form compartments in the cell?
No, all cytoplasmic compartments are formed from the 'pinching off of folded membrane segments'.
What does the edoplasmic reticulum do in a cell?
it Forms channels through a network of folded membranes and Transports materials inside the cell
A series of folded membranes that move materials around in the cell?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
