A Huge Bobber For Fishing?
a: The kayak ~
b: a huge bobber
What: "The kayak is like a huge bobber they can't pull under, and it wears them out," Morrow said. "They were amazingly docile once they got close to the kayak," Bliss said. "They didn't do much jumping at all next to the kayak. You could reach out and touch them and they didn't spook or anything." The four kayak-caught sails ranged between 85-115 estimated pounds.

More Surface Area
a: cristae ~
b: car radiatior
What:
The cristae's function is to increase the surface area of the inner mitochondria. A larger surface area increases the number of chemical reactions per unit of area. A car radiator is an object with a very large surface area. The large amount of surface area helps to dissipate the waster heat from the car's engine. The general idea is to get more chemical energy or heat loss in a given volume.
