The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.

How are highly folded membranes an advantage for the functions of cellular parts?

Highly folded membranes increase surface area within a limited space, allowing for more efficient processes like nutrient absorption and waste removal. This increased surface area also enables more sites for important cellular reactions to occur, such as ATP production in the mitochondria or protein synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum.


Why are folded membranes in cells more effective than unfolded membranes?

Folded membranes in cells are more effective because they have more surface area. The wider area of space allows for more activity to occur without damage to the cell because of membrane's resistance.


What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?

The folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area available for chemical reactions that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.


What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?

The organelle that contains a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane in a cell is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.


How are highly folded membranes an advantage fo the function of cellular parts?

Highly folded membranes increase surface area for various cellular processes such as nutrient absorption, waste removal, and cellular communication. This increase in surface area allows for more efficient and rapid exchange of molecules between the cell and its environment.

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.

Folded membranes are an advantage to a cell because?

It gives a cell greater surface area, if they are folded, they are more compact, allowing the cell to do more. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ _______________ Both drawings have 16 segments of the same length. The one above is folded and is able to hold the same in less space, or more in the same space. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ = 16 __________ = 10 (same space, but more area)
