What is Rod shaped bodies with interior folds called christa?
Mitochondria
The folds inside the mitochondria which increase the surface area and allow the cell to change more food into energy are the?
christae
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
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 difference between cristae and mesosome?
Cristae are the folds formed by the inner membrane in mitochondria, whereas mesosomes are essentially the same thing but are in bacterial cells.
What is the sturcture of mitochondria?
Mitochondria are tube-like structures with many folds.
Why is the inside of the mitochondria have folds?
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
Does mitochondria has folds or not?
yes they called cristae to increase the surface area to allow a faster output of ATPIt is important for electron transport chain. Inner membrane folds to create cristae
What organism has mitochondria with disc shaped cristae?
euglenozoa have disk shaped folds in the mitochondria (cristae)
Why are there folds of inner cristae of mitochondria?
Folds increase surface area.So respiration take place efficiently.
What is Rod shaped bodies with interior folds called christa?
Mitochondria
Organelle that possess folds that serve as centers of cellular respiration?
The Mitochondria.
How do you mitochondria in a sentence?
mitochondria have an inner and outer membrane.theinne membranehas many twists and folds(called cristae),which increase the surface area available to proteins.
What is the function of the inner membrane folds of the mitochondria?
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
What are the inner folds that are found in the mitochondria and what is there purpose?
The inner folds of a mitochondria are called the cristae. The cristae is folded in order to maximize the space within the mitochondria in order to increase surface area. By doing so, aerobic respiration requires less ATP to function, and thus, makes the process more efficient
What is the space inside the folds of the inner mitochondrial membranes?
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
How does the folds in the mitochondria relate to a cells efficiency in energy production?
The folds in the cristae increase the surface area, so cellular respiration can occur more efficiently.
