An ultramicroscopic space or channel occurring between the membranes is the definition of cisternae. Perhaps understanding this as a river valley.
While the cristae is a ridge or crest. And this as the top (ridge) of a chain of hills.

Cisternae are fluid-containing sacs or cavities in the body of an organism.
Cristae is the Latin word for 'crests' and can mean a fold of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion or a ridge of bone.

What is the difference between Cristae and the matrix?

Cristae is the folds form by inner membrane of mitochondria. Matrix is the 'stuff' inside of cristae that contain enzyme needed for kreb's cycle.


What is the difference between cristae and mesosome?

Cristae are the folds formed by the inner membrane in mitochondria, whereas mesosomes are essentially the same thing but are in bacterial cells.


What is the difference between a dyad and triad in skeletal cardiac muscle?

In skeletal muscle, a triad is formed when a T-Tubule is flanked on either side by the calcium containing Terminal Cisternae of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, at the level of the Z-line. The intimate association of these three membranous sturctures (Terminal Cisternae---T-Tubule---Terminal Cisternae) for a Triad. This differs from a diad (or Dyad), in cardiac muscle where the T-Tubule is only intimately associated with ONE Terminal Cisternae.


What is the function of the cisternae?

The function of the cisternae is the modification of proteins into the final products. The cisternae are found and make up the Golgi Apparatus.


Where are cristae present in a cell?

Cristae are present in the mitochondria.

What are cisternae in Golgi apparatus?

# A cisterna (plural cisternae) comprises a flattened membrane disk that makes up theGolgi apparatus. A typical Golgi has anywhere from 3 to 7 cisternae stacked upon each other like a stack of dinner plates, but there are usually around 6. The cisternae carry Golgi enzymes to help or to modify cargo proteins traveling through them destined for other parts of the cell. # The cisternae also carry structural proteins important for its maintenance as a flattened membrane and its stacking upon each other. # The earliest cisternae are called the cis-cisternae, followed by the medial cisternae, then the trans-cisternae (as they move away from the endoplasmic reticulum). # The formation of new cisternae is often called the cis-Golgi network and at the end of the Golgi where transport to other parts of the cell occurs is called the trans-Golgi network. Both are thought to be specialized cisternae leading in and out of the Golgi apparatus. # Cisternae may also refer to flattened regions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What are the inner folds of the mitochondria membrane called?

The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae. They have three morphologies: flattened or sheet like, fingerlike or tubular, and paddle like.
