What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
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.
The folded inner membrane in mitochondria which increases surface area for chemical reactions to take place is called what?
Cristae
3 characteristics of mitochondria?
The inner membrane is highly folded to provide a large surface area for aerobic respiration to take place, The inner membrane is fooled inwards to form cristae The fluid inside the inner membrane is the ,atria Also it a double membrane bound organelle
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is the?
No! Read. E-mail me when you find the answer.

How are the folded membranes in mitcochondria an advantage?
The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.
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
