The layered apperance of christae might be an artifact of the imaging technique most commonly used to image them (thin section transmission electron microscopy). CryoTEM tomography has provided evidence that christae are tubular structures. Search for the work of Dr. Carmen Manella.

christae
How many layers are in the Taiga biome?
2 layers
Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.

What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
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.
