The mitochondrial inner membrane forms internal compartments - within the organelle - known as cristae, which allow greater space for the proteins such as cytochromes to function correctly. Also, the electron transport chain is located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria and within the mitochondrions inner membrane are also transport proteins that transport in a highly controlled manner metabolites across this membrane.
The structure of the mitochondria(singular: mitochondrion) is it is surrounded by a double membrane. The function of the mitochondria is to turn the sugar from food in the cell into ATP for the cell to use. It also changes the chemical energy in food into glucose.
The inner membrane of the mitochondria
The Electron Transport Chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts.
Mitochondria. More specifically, the inner membrane of the mitochondria :)
They are found in mitochondria and in chloroplasts.In mitochondria, the ATP synthase complexes are embedded in the inner membrane. In chloroplasts, the ATP synthase complexes are embedded in the thylakoid membranes.
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Mitochondria
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.
The inner membrane folds of the mitochondria, called cristae, increase the surface area available for oxidative phosphorylation, the process that produces ATP. This allows for more efficient production of ATP by providing more space for electron transport chain proteins and ATP synthase enzymes.
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondria. It consists of a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which is used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
The carriers of the electron transport chain are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, they are located in the cell membrane.

Inner membrane of the mitochondria
There are 3 main parts.Outer membrane,inner membrane and stroma.
In the organelle called the mitochondria.In eukaryotes, electron transport occurs in the mitochondria. A mitochondrion is an organelle that is membrane bound.
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.
