What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
IS nuclei are within the inner membrane of the mitochondria and increase its ability to create ATP?
No. The inner membrane contains many folds called cristae, which increase the surface area inside the organelle. The cristae increase the efficiency of the chemical reactions, allowing the mitochondria to create more ATP.
What are the projections on the inner membrane of a mitochondria called?
The convolutions in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are referred to as the cristae. Mitochondrion refers to an organelle found in most cells whereby energy production and respiration takes place.
What are the inner folds of the mitochondria membrane called?
The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae. They have three morphologies: flattened or sheet like, fingerlike or tubular, and paddle like.
What is the organelle that contains anthocyanin?
The organelle is called the chloroplast The photosynthetic pigment it contains is called chlorophyll

Is mitochondria surrounded by the double membrane?
Mitochondria have an inner membrane which is highly convoluted (called cristae and is known to increase the surface area of this organelle, therefore providing more space for ATP (energy) production). This inner membrane contains pores that enable substances to pass through them, almost serving like a shortcut so that these molecules don't have to make their way around the 'maze' (the cristae). Mitochondria also have an outer membrane.

Cell products are wrapped in membranes by an organelle called?
tisseue
What organelle is a double-walled vessel with the inner wall having folds known as cristae?
Such organelles are called mitochondria.
Were does the electron transport chain occur in the cell?
In the cristae of the organelle called the mitochondria.
What is the structure of mitochondrion?
The mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, where ATP is produced. It is composed of an inner membrane called cristae, and an outer membrane that covers the organelle.
Cell products are wrapped in membranes by an organelle called the blank complex?
Golgi Complex
What part of mitochondria is the most active region?
Some consider the cristae to be the most active part."An envelope of two membranes encloses the mitochondrion, which contains a thick fluid called the matrix. The inner membrane of the envelope has numberous infoldings called cristae. Many of the enzymes and other molecules that function in cellular respiration are built into the inner membrane. By increasing the surface area of this membrane, the cristae maximize ATP output."(ATP is essentially cellular energy, which is maximized by the cristae)Courtesy of my college biology book, Essential Biology with Physiology, Second Edition (Campbell, Reece, and Simon).Hope this helps!
