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. :)
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is the?
No! Read. E-mail me when you find the answer.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What does chemiosmosis produce and where does it happen?
it occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well.
Which is an organelle found in the cytoplasm has a smooth outer membrane and greatly folded inner membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum: a series of highly folded membranes, "rough" endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes attached to it. "Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
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 are the folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria?
Cristae (singular; crista)

Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
What is in mitochondria?
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.
