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 is another word for the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
It is called cristae. That is due inner foldings
What are the inner membrane fold called in mitochondria?
Cristae (singular; crista)
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
In eukaryote electron transport occurs in the?
In the organelle called the mitochondria.In eukaryotes, electron transport occurs in the mitochondria. A mitochondrion is an organelle that is membrane bound.
What is the advantage of having a folder inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The inner membrane in the mitochondria has many folds called cristae. The advantage of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the membrane on which oxygen and carbohydrates combine to form ATP.
What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
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.
Were does the electron transport chain occur in the cell?
In the cristae of the organelle called the mitochondria.
What are the inner folds of the mitochondria membrane called?
The inner folds of the mitochondria membrane are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis to occur.
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
What are mitochondria surrounded by?
Mitochondria are surrounded by membranes.They have two membranes.
