Whats that in English
the outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area.

Is mitochondria surrounded by the double membrane?
Mitochondria have an inner membrane which is highly convoluted (called cristae and is known to increase the surface area of this organelle, therefore providing more space for ATP (energy) production). This inner membrane contains pores that enable substances to pass through them, almost serving like a shortcut so that these molecules don't have to make their way around the 'maze' (the cristae). Mitochondria also have an outer membrane.
Are mitochondria single membrane structures involved in the breakdown of ATP?
No, they have an inner and and outer membrane.
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
Where does the electron transport chain take place in an animal cell?
For Eukaryotes the electron transport chain occurs in the Inner Membrane of a mitochondria. (mitochondria has 2 membranes both outer and inner) For Prokaryotes, it occurs in the plasma membrane as prokaryotes do not have mitochondria.
What is the mitchrondria?
The mitochondria (not mitchrondria) is known as the powerhouse of the cell. It is made up of an outer and inner membrane and a matrix. It is an organelle that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. It is the main thing that creates energy for the body to function.
What organelle has both inner and outer membrane?
Both mitochondria and chloroplasts
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.
Describe the outer covering of the mitochondria?
two outer covering membranes and a third inner thylakoid membrane
What is the structure of mitochondrion?
The mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, where ATP is produced. It is composed of an inner membrane called cristae, and an outer membrane that covers the organelle.
What is the structures and functions of mitochondria?
mitochondria is an endo-membrane organelle. it consists of an inner &outer membrane. it also contains an inter mitochondrial space. it is the power house of the cell where the photosynthesis takes place.
What is the structure of a mitochondrion?
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.
Which organelle is the energy producer?
The mitochondria is the energy producer.The Mitochondria(-ion) is the organelle responsible for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It has a double-membrane: an outer membrane and a highly convoluted inner membrane. It's inner membrane has folds or shelf-like structures called cristae that contain "elementary particles"; these particles contain enzymes that are important in ATP production.

What cell part is used to describe the outer edge of a frog blood cell?
Cell membrane
Are mitochondria single membrane structures involved in the breakdown of ATP?
No, they have an inner and and outer membrane.
What organelle contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The chloroplast of plant cells and the mitochondrion of animal cells. Both of these are involved in the production of energy and are derived from the secondary endosymbiosis of an alga (in the case of the chloroplast) or a cyanobacteria (in the case of the mitochondrion).
Why does the mitochondriahave both an outer and inner membrane?
yes,mitochondria are double membranous.
