Cell Companion Transport Describe Adapted Function Adaptations Infoldings

Companion cells are adapted for their function with many cell membrane infoldings for increased surface area for active transport of sucrose and numerous mitochondria to supply ATP for transport pumps.

Las células acompañantes se adaptan para su función con muchas invaginaciones en las membranas celulares para aumentar el área para el transporte activo de sacarosa y numerosas mitocondrias para suministrar ATP a las bombas de transporte.

Front Describe how companion cells are adapted for their function.
Back Companion cell adaptations:
  • Many infoldings in cell membranes give increased surface area for active transport of sucrose into cell cytoplasm
  • Many mitochondria to supply ATP to transport pumps
