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 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.
Name 2 cell organelles having DNA?
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are the organelles having DNA.
How does the mitochondria and the nucleus work together?

What is the advantage of not having a nucleus?
the advantage is that, well,, i dunno Well, that's helpful!! lol
Having membrane covered organelles a characteristic of what cells?
eukaruotic cells

What is the advantage of having numerous folds in a cells outer membrane?
Surface area is increased.
What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The folded inner membrane of the mitochondria greatly increases the surface area of the membrane so that carbohydrates (simple sugars) can combine with oxygen to produce ATP.
Describe the structure of the mitochondrion?
The structure of the mitochondria(singular: mitochondrion) is it is surrounded by a double membrane. The function of the mitochondria is to turn the sugar from food in the cell into ATP for the cell to use. It also changes the chemical energy in food into glucose.
What is the advantage of having a folded membrane surrounding the cell or within the cytoplasm or within organelles?
It increases the surface area of the cell membrane. By having more surface area, more matter can be moved in and out of the cell.
What are membrane enclosed organelles?
The components of the cells which have outer membrane are called membrane bound or membrane enclosed organelles. Example: Nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast are bound by two membranes. Lysosomes, Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi-apparatus are bound by single membrane. On contrast ribosomes are not having any protective membrane. Sreekala.K.P
Does yeast have a mitocondria?
Yes. A yeast cell is a eukaryotic cell and all eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles, that may include mitochondria. There are very few exceptions of eukaryotic cells not having mitochondria but yeast has them.
What are advantages to having mitochondrial power production?
Mitochondria provide ATP for the cell. ATP is used for mostly all of cellular processes. Per glucose, mitochondria can produce roughly 36 ATP per glucose molecule that is broken down. Cells without mitochondria just produce 2 ATP per glucose. As you can see, there is a huge advantage in having mitochondria, as we get 18x more ATP per glucose through mitochondria.
What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane having hydrophobic ends in the phospholipid bilayer?
Well it prevents polar molecules from passing through freely, giving the membrane its semi-permeable properties.
What will you call a cell not having ERGolgi complexmitochondrianuclear membraneetc?
There are eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a ER, golgo complex, mitochondria, or nuclear membrane. Most prokaryotes are unicellular.
What are the consequences of not having mitochondria?
No animal or plant cell can live for long without mitochondria.
Do cells without cell walls have mitochondria?
Yes. Another term for a cell without a cell wall is an animal cell. All cells have a cell membrane but only plant cells have a cell wall which just gives the cell extra support. Not having a cell wall has nothing to do with mitochondria.
