The ribbon-like folds on the inner lining of the mitochondrial membrane are called cristae.
The fluid lining the inner alveolar membrane is called surfactant. It helps reduce the surface tension in the alveoli, which prevents them from collapsing in on themselves every time we exhale.

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.
