The PCT's adaptations include microvilli and folded membranes for increased surface area, and abundant mitochondria to supply ATP for active transport.
This card describes adaptations of the PCT: microvilli for large surface area, folded opposite membrane for increased surface area, and numerous mitochondria for ATP production via active transport.
