Understand the Problem

The question is asking which feature, related to the membranes of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, enhances their efficiency in metabolic functions. It provides multiple-choice answers related to membrane structures.

Answer

They have highly folded membranes.

The feature shared by mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum that increases the efficiency of their basic functions is that they have highly folded membranes.

Answer for screen readers

The feature shared by mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum that increases the efficiency of their basic functions is that they have highly folded membranes.

More Information

Highly folded membranes increase the surface area available for reactions, enhancing the efficiency of cellular processes in both mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum.

Tips

Avoid choosing options that do not directly reflect the structural features contributing to functional efficiency. The key is the folding of the membranes.
