Membrane has increased/large surface area for (fast) diffusion/facilitated diffusion/active transport/co-transport;Large number of protein channels/carriers (in membrane) for facilitated diffusion;Large n...

In order to maintain homeostasis, which in this case means a stable blood glucose, certain hormones must be released in situations which alter blood glucose. This occurs most commonly after a meal (increa...

The ABO blood type system relies upon the co-dominant alleles I^A and I^B, which are expressed any time they are present and are dominant over i which is recessive. If someone has bloo...

The small intestine has a very large surface area to increase the amount of area that glucose can diffuse out of the small intestine into the bloodstream. The large surface area is created by villi, which...

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 ...
