Cell processes that increase the surface area of a cell are called:

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

  • As the radius of a cell increases, its surface area increases as the square of its radius, but its volume increases as the cube of its radius (much more rapidly).
  • Therefore, as a cell increases in size, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.
  • Prokaryotic cells have internal folding of the cell membrane which are responsible for certain functions like respiration.
  • These foldings too increase the surface area.

Prokaryotic cells have internal folding of the cell membrane which are responsible for certain functions like respiration. These foldings increase the surface area.

Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized which is a method to increase the surface area as there are lots of membranes inside the cell across which many processes take place.

In some cells like the ones making the lining of the villi in the small intestine there are folding in the outer cell membrane which also increases the surface area,

Non-motile cilia are structures in a cell membrane that also increase surface area. Non-motile cilia are like oars that push through the cell membrane. They are thinner and longer than microvilli. Non-motile cilia are also called primary cilia.
