Cristae (singular; crista)
What else can I help you with?
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.
What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
This description matches the structure of mitochondria. The outer membrane of mitochondria surrounds the organelle, while the inner membrane is folded into numerous layers called cristae, which help increase the surface area for energy production through oxidative phosphorylation.
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 are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Are the nucleus and the mitochondrion surrounded by two layers of unit membrane?
Yes, both the nucleus and mitochondria are surrounded by two layers of unit membrane. The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, made up of two lipid bilayers, while the mitochondria have an outer and inner mitochondrial membrane.
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.
How is the innermost of these layers different from that of the nucleus?
The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded
What are the tho parts of the mitochondria?
The two main parts of the mitochondria are the outer membrane and the inner membrane. The inner membrane is folded into structures called cristae, which increases its surface area for energy production.
What are rod-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm called that have a smooth outer membrane and a gently folded inner membrane called?
It is the mitochondria
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is the?
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is known as the cristae. These folds increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for proteins and enzymes involved in energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. The highly folded structure of the cristae enhances the efficiency of ATP production within the mitochondria.
