The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)

∙ 9y agoThe mitochondria consist of two envelope-like membranes that surround a folded inner membrane. This inner membrane is folded inwards to form projections called cristae.

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
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.
Does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum have a single or double membrane?
yeh it is a double membrane bound organelle. the inner membrane is heavily folded for a large surface are for enzyme activity. its function is the synthesis, modification and distribution of protiens.
What organelle contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The chloroplast of plant cells and the mitochondrion of animal cells. Both of these are involved in the production of energy and are derived from the secondary endosymbiosis of an alga (in the case of the chloroplast) or a cyanobacteria (in the case of the mitochondrion).
What things use a membrane bound system that contains cytochromes to produce ATP?
Mitochondria...the basic inner structure of a mitochondrion is a double membrane folded into structures called cristae which increase the surface area.

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 inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Why is the inner mitochondrai membrane folded?
to give it more sure area
What are the folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria?
Cristae (singular; crista)
How many chloroplasts surround a chloroplast?
1 chroplast because because they are both the same thing
