In many organisms, on both the microscopic and gross levels, there are anatomical structures with specific adaptations to serve to increase surface area in order to facilitate chemical reactions as well as transport mechanisms. What structure listed here is an example of such a surface area adaptation?
A)the cristae of mitochondria B) the irregular shape of an amoeba C)the large size of a plant vacuole D) the ligand-gate receptor of the cell membrane

Answer

A. The Cristae of mitochondria is an example of a surface area adaptation

Explanation

The cristae in a mitochondrial are folds in the inner membrane which serve to increase the surface area. The more the folds of cristae in the mitochondrion the more locations for production of energy(ATP) to take place. When cristae folds are absent, the mitochondrion is unable to sustain the cell’s energy requirements.
