What is the structure of the mitochondria?
The structure of the mitochondria include the inner mitochondrial membrane, the outer mitochondrial membrane, the intermembrane space, the cristae, and then the mitochondrial matrix. Click on the related link for a detailed description on the structure of the mitochondria.
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrne folded?
The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.
What is folded membrane extending out from the nucleus?
cell Membrane
Why is mitochondria highly folded?
The mitochondria itself is not highly folded. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is, and this increases the surface area of the membrane while not changing the volume enclosed by it. The inner membrane contains ATP synthase, which is an enzyme that stimulates the production of ATP, which the cell uses as an energy source. This means that with more membrane, the cells ability to produce ATP, or energy, is increased. This is enforced by the observation that in cells with a high demand for energy, such as muscle cells, the inner mitochondrial membrane has a lot more folds than in cells like liver cells, which have a lower energy demand.
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.
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
How is the innermost of these layers different from that of the nucleus?
The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is the?
No! Read. E-mail me when you find the answer.

Are the nucleus and the mitochondrion surrounded by two layers of unit membrane?
The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded.

What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)
