Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum. You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
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 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 the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.

Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
What is in mitochondria?
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.
Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
What is Mitochondria (mitochondrion)?

Is mitochondria have 2 membranes?
yes, inner and outer membranes
What is a series of folded membranes that moves materials around in a cell?
The mitochondria
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
Why are the membranes of mitochondria tightly folded?
so there is more area for the production of ATP
