What else can I help you with?
What is the inner membrane?
It is called cristae. There are inner foldings
What is the inner layer of the human bone called?
Spongy inner layer called cancellous bone. Spongy bone is lighter and less dense than compact bone
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 the lightweight inner layer of a bone called?
Trabecular bone.
What is the inner most part of the bone called?
bone marrow
What layer is beneath the outer membrane?
The layer beneath the outer membrane is called the periplasmic space or the periplasm. It is a gel-like region that contains proteins and other molecules, and it separates the outer membrane from the inner membrane in Gram-negative bacteria.
The membrane covering the bone is called?
it is periosteum
Why is inner mitochondrial membrane folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
What is the term for the membrane around the shaft of a long bone?
The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
What is another word for the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
It is called cristae. That is due inner foldings
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 the projections on the inner membrane of a mitochondria called?
The convolutions in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are referred to as the cristae. Mitochondrion refers to an organelle found in most cells whereby energy production and respiration takes place.
