Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Mitochondria and ribosomes
A proximal convoluted tubule cell in the kidney has many mitochondria and a dense border of microvilli facing the tubule lumen.
Which statement best explains how these two features help the cell carry out its function?
Which statement best explains how these two features help the cell carry out its function?
- Mitochondria store glucose and microvilli reduce surface area for slower uptake.
- Mitochondria release energy for active transport and microvilli increase surface area for absorption.
- Mitochondria make antibodies and microvilli trap bacteria.
- Mitochondria remove urea and microvilli secrete hormones.
