The ability of protists to increase the surface area for gas and nutrient exchange is conferred by
A) mitochondria.
B) a cytoskeleton.
C) a nucleus.
D) a cell wall.
E) a flexible cell membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability of protists to increase their surface area for gas and nutrient exchange is dependent on their flexible cell membrane, which allows them to change shape and increase their surface area through various mechanisms such as pseudopodia and flagella. Mitochondria, a cytoskeleton, a nucleus, and a cell wall may play important roles in protist functions, but they are not directly linked to increasing surface area for exchange.
