The mitochondrial inner membrane forms internal compartments - within the organelle - known as cristae, which allow greater space for the proteins such as cytochromes to function correctly. Also, the electron transport chain is located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria and within the mitochondrions inner membrane are also transport proteins that transport in a highly controlled manner metabolites across this membrane.
The structure of the mitochondria(singular: mitochondrion) is it is surrounded by a double membrane. The function of the mitochondria is to turn the sugar from food in the cell into ATP for the cell to use. It also changes the chemical energy in food into glucose.
The inner membrane of the mitochondria
The Electron Transport Chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts.
Mitochondria. More specifically, the inner membrane of the mitochondria :)
They are found in mitochondria and in chloroplasts.In mitochondria, the ATP synthase complexes are embedded in the inner membrane. In chloroplasts, the ATP synthase complexes are embedded in the thylakoid membranes.
The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
The inner membrane of mitochondria is ruffled becase it's to provide greater surface area. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is called cristae.
Mitochondria
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 space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
I don't think so. I think they are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, but I could be wrong.

Inner membrane of the mitochondria
There are 3 main parts.Outer membrane,inner membrane and stroma.
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.
