The proximal convoluted tubule is adapted for absorption with microvilli for increased surface area, abundant mitochondria for ATP production, and numerous carrier proteins for active and facilitated transport.
- microvilli increase surface area - cells contain many mitochondria to produce ATP in respiration for active transport - cells contain many carrier proteins for active transport - cells contain many carrier proteins and ion channels for facilitated diffusion
