The cristae are fold in the mitochondria which increase its' surface area so that it can produce ADP + P=ATP.

Why does the mitochondria have folds?

Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.


What are cristae and oxysomes associated with?

Cristae and Oxysomes are associated with Mitochondria. Oxysomes are also known as F-1 particles


The folds of the inner membrane of the mitrochondria where cellular respiration occurs are called?

The folds of the inner membrane of the mitochondria where cellular respiration occurs are called cristae. These cristae provide a larger surface area for the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, which are essential for the production of energy in the form of ATP.


What do the cristae do for the mitochondria?

The folds of inner membrane of mitochondria are called cristae (singular: crista). Crista increases the surface area of mitochondria. Most of the biochemical work of mitochondria is done on the cristae.


What is cristae?

"Cristae (singular crista) are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a Mitochondrion." "They are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase and a variety of cytochromes. The maximum surface for chemical reactions to occur is within the mitochondria. This allows cellular respiration (aerobic respiration since the mitochondria requires oxygen) to occur" (All the above is from Wikipedia) Basically: -Cristae are formed by the inner membrane of the Mitochondrion -Cristae are studded with protein -Cristae allow Aerobic Cellular Respiration to occur CMS PRIDE GO RAMS
