One example ; The brain, if you look at the brain it looks like a lump of wrinkledgrayish tubes, split into sections,. Well imagine if you were to unravel the brain ? you couldn't, but you can 'unfold' it ! when you do this you can then see that it is a carefully folded mass ( for want of a better word!!!) of membranes, vital for the protection of precious brain cells, which unlike other cells in the body, do not replace however some very few compared to the amount of brain cells we have, can repair. So these highly folded membranes are a huge advantage in protecting, and providing the cellular parts .to function correctly and not get confused while in the process of developing the complete cell ,which then as you know has to go on to multiply and fulfill the task that this very special complex little component has been set to do !
So look at the brains folds, and picture one tiny cell, well within that cell are these folded membranes enabling all the tiny cellular parts to take the correct microscopic paths to their correct destination within the cell safely!.....the parts 'function' as they should to produce healthy complete cells.........HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY RAMBLING !!!!!!!..........

The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.
diffusion
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.
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)

Yes.

endoplasmic reticulum
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.

The golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells is a complex of vesicles and folded membranes found within the cytoplasm. Its main function is to process and package the macromolecules that are synthesized by the cell.
