suggest and explain two ways the cell-surface membranes of the cells lining of the uterus may be adapted to allow rapid transport of nutrients

The membrane is folded therefore has a larger surface area for transport of nutrients by active transport and diffusion. Also, the membrane has a lot of protein carries in the membrane that are used for acti...
