The folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae. They serve to provide a greater surface area for the proton-pump through which protons pass down their concentration gradient through ATP synthase to produce ATP in cellular respiration.
To increase the area so that more electron transfer chain can be in place and then more ATP is made.
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae. They have three morphologies: flattened or sheet like, fingerlike or tubular, and paddle like.
No! Read. E-mail me when you find the answer.
The inner membrane of the mitochondria has numerous folds called cristae. These folds are where ATP is synthesized, and the folds provide a relatively large surface area where ATP synthesis occurs. The cristaee does enclose a liquid-filled region known as the inner compartment, or matrix, containing many enzymes that are used in the process of aerobic respiration.
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
The inner membrane in the mitochondria has many folds called cristae. The advantage of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the membrane on which oxygen and carbohydrates combine to form ATP.

it is the internal compound formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondria. It is studded with protiens including ATP synthesis and a variety of cytochrome's
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

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
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.
