Having folds increase surface area.So their functions can be done efficiently.Example-mitochondria.
Mitochondria are tube-like structures with many folds.
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
euglenozoa have disk shaped folds in the mitochondria (cristae)
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.

the folds of the mitochondria are important to store proteins
The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are tube-like structures with many folds.
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.

Mitochondria are composed of two membranes. the inner membrane forms many folds called cristae, which provide a large surface area where chemical reactions take place. the number of mitochondria present in different cells is related to the rate of energy usage by the cell.
