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 tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes called?
hat are tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes called?
Which cellular structure has single membrane?
Most of them. Lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, peroxisome, vacuoles all have single membranes. Nucleus has double membrane to make it less permeable, chloroplasts have membrane bound structures (thylakoid) inside its two membranes, and mitochondria have larger membrane that is folded within the outer membrane for added surface area.
Is the mitochondrion surrounded by a membrane?
Mitochondria have two [bi-lipid layer] membranes: a smooth and slightly elastic outer membrane and an inner membrane that has [surface area increasing] inward folds called cristae. Inside the inner compartment is the 'matrix', which is a gel-like phase that contains about 50% protein.
What are well-defined subcellular structures that are enveloped in membranes called?
Structures inside a cell membrane are called organelles, and they perform vital functions for a cell, like organs do for humans.Organelles.

What is the best reason for an organelle to have folded membranes inside it?
Having folds increase surface area.So their functions can be done efficiently.Example-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.
What is Mitochondria (mitochondrion)?

The folded system of membranes that forms a network of interconnected compartment inside the cell is called?
endoplasmic reticulum
What are the inner membranes of mitochondria?
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.
Why do the mitochondria have folded internal membranes?
Mitochondria has a membrane because it is an organelle inside a cell. All eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. There is a membrane inside the mitochondria that is folded and this allows for more space for the it ATP to be formed. A person's brain is folded so more brain can fit within the skull. These two things are the same idea.
What is the folded system of membranes that forms a network of interconnected compartment inside the cell?
This is called the endomembrane system. ER, Golgi and the like.
What is the space inside the folds of the inner mitochondrial membranes?
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
Which cell mitochondria and cell membranes be?
if you mean in the inside of the cell mitochondria: floating in the cytoplasm Cell membrane on the outside of the cell
What material inside the cell membranes not including the nucleus?
Protoplasm/Cytoplasm Ribosomes Mitochondria
