How does the structure of the mitochondria increase the amount of adenosine triphosphate produced?

The inner mitochondrial membrane is folded and convoluted similar to the cerebral cortex of the brain. The electron transport chain (ETC) is located on the inner membrane, so by folding it back upon itself, more surface area is available. The ETC produces ATP by oxidative phosphorylation and is the greatest producer of ATP in cell respiration.

How does the internal structure increase the efficiency of the mitochondria?
By increasing surface area. So more can bind
What body part is like the mitochondria?
Since mitochondria produces energy in cells...i suppose the answer to your question would be the digestive system.
Why is the inside of the mitochondria have folds?
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
What do mitochondria have to increase chemical reactions?
uses the off spring to multi the mitochondria's babys and causing mass production of ATP
How do you mitochondria in a sentence?
mitochondria have an inner and outer membrane.theinne membranehas many twists and folds(called cristae),which increase the surface area available to proteins.

What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The folded inner membrane of the mitochondria greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
Why does the number of mitochondria increase in muscle fibers with exercise?
the cells rapidly increase with exercise, therefore creating more mitochondria. the mitochondria is also related to metabolism and more mitochondria your body makes during exercise, the faster your metabolism gets. lime and pickle juice are actually great catalysts to double your amount of mitochondria

What things use a membrane bound system that contains cytochromes to produce ATP?
Mitochondria...the basic inner structure of a mitochondrion is a double membrane folded into structures called cristae which increase the surface area.
What is the different between vacuole and mitochondria?
Permanent vacuoles exist only in plant cells. They store the cells salty, nutrienty goodness. However, animal cells also form vacuoles if only temporary. These smaller, temporary vacuoles transport substances across a cell (especially water in osmosis).Essentially, a vacuole is a storage cupboard for a cell.Mitochondria exist in all eukaryotic cells (as far as I'm aware) and are essentially little sacs of membrane all coiled round and concertinaed to increase their surface area for aerobic respiration (Glucose + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy). But biological chemistry is never that simple, is it? The mitochondria can't just make energy - that would be too easy. Instead, they make little molecules of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which, for all intent and purpose, serves as energy within a cell. Mitochondria produce energy which most cells need. So, mitochondria appear in most cells. The more the cells needs energy, the more mitochondria it will have.

What happen's in mitchodrian?
Mitochondria is an organelle found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for producing ATP (adenisine triphosphate) va cellular respiration. A mitochonidran is a relatively large organelle and has a double membrane. The inner membrane, called the cristae, is heavily folded in orderto increase surface area for gaseous exchange. When respiring, mitochondria produce ATP, which is energy for the cell. Cells such as muscle and sperm cells, which require lots of movement and energy, have a large number of mitochondria present. It is thought that mitochondria were once independant and exsisted outside of a cell. They are able to reproduce on their own, and do not need the nucleus to carry it out.
What is the reaction that occurs in a cristae of the mitochondria?
The cristae are fold in the mitochondria which increase its' surface area so that it can produce ADP + P=ATP.
Why does the number of mitochondria increase due to exercise?
work = force * distance
