A mirror that bows inward is called concave. The opposite, a mirror that bows outward would be called convex. Convex mirrors are used to to increase the field of view around corners and blind spots. Concave mirror serve no purpose other than novelty (making you appear thin or odd)

What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
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.
How do mitochondria have enough surface area to carry out cellular respiration?
The inner surface of mitochondria is thrown into folds called cristae which increase the surface area to a great extent.
Why are inner planets also called rocky planets?
The inner planets, except earth, are made up of rocks. They have a hard surface. The earth would be one of these except we have water. The outer planets are gas giants and do not have a solid surface.
The folded inner membrane in mitochondria which increases surface area for chemical reactions to take place is called what?
Cristae
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?
Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.
Is a concave or covect the type of mirror that resembles the inner sufrace of a spoon?
A concave surface is hollow and bends inwards.... think of it as conCAVE.... caves are hollow.A convex surface is like a bump and bends outwards... a convEX bump is on the EXterior of an object
What structures increase the surface area for cellular respiration in a mitochondria?
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
What is the difference between concave lens and the concave mirror?
Not much except concave mirror reflects and concentrate the light and lens let trough and distorts the light "concave -the inner surface of a sphere." defines the shape of the lens or mirror
What is the name of a cylinder shaped toy with a sequence of pictures on inner surface?
It's a zoetrope, and the answer to 6 down in todays Sunday mirror starsearch crossword :-)
What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
They are called cristae. They increase surface area
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area

What are concave?
A concaved shape is one that is curved like the inner surface of a sphere. (Think about something that is cave-like.) The opposite, a convex surface, is one that is shaped like the outer surface of a sphere. So the mirror in a telescope has a concaved surface, as does the inside of a bowl and the surface of a crater or valley.
What is the epithelium that covers the inner surfaces of the eyelids and the outer surface of the eye called?
The answer is conjunctiva.
What is the name of the projections on the inner surface of the small intestine?
projections r called ..VILLI
