The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.

How are highly folded membranes an advantage for the functions of cellular parts?
screw u
What is network of folded membranes that helps make protein?
diffusion
Why are folded membranes in cells more effective than unfolded membranes?
Folded membranes in cells are more effective because they have more surface area. The wider area of space allows for more activity to occur without damage to the cell because of membrane's resistance.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)
What is a series of highly folded membranes suspended in the cytoplasm with nothing attached to its outside?
mitochondria

Yes.
Do folded membranes form compartments in the cell?
Yes
What organelle is a of folded up membranes?
endoplasmic reticulum
What are non examples for endoplasmic reticulum?
thick folded membranes
What is network of folded membranes that helps make protein?
diffusion
What is the system of folded membranes in cytoplasm where proteins are made?
chlororplasts
What is the system folded membranes in cytoplasm where proteins are made?
chlororplasts
Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum. You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
Folded membranes do not form compartments in the cell?
No, all cytoplasmic compartments are formed from the 'pinching off of folded membrane segments'.
Series of folded membranes that move materials around in the cell?
it is the ribosome
