The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.

What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area available for chemical reactions that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The organelle that contains a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane in a cell is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
What is in mitochondria?
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.
What is Mitochondria (mitochondrion)?
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.
Why mitochondria have folded inner membranes?
Foldings increases surface area.So respiration can be done efficiently.
What are the inner membranes of mitochondria?
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.
Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
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.
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
What is the space inside the folds of the inner mitochondrial membranes?
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
Is mitochondria have 2 membranes?
yes, inner and outer membranes
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
