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.
What structures increase the surface area for cellular respiration in a mitochondria?
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
What are the inner folds of the mitochondria membrane called?
The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae. They have three morphologies: flattened or sheet like, fingerlike or tubular, and paddle like.
What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
They are called cristae. They increase surface area
Give suitable word for finger like projections present on the inner membrane of mitochondria?
Cristae
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 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. :)
Why is the inner membrane of mitochondria ruffled?
The inner membrane of mitochondria is ruffled becase it's to provide greater surface area. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is called cristae.
What are the inner membrane in the mitochondria are called?
Cristae (singular; crista)

In eukaryote electron transport occurs in the?
In the organelle called the mitochondria.In eukaryotes, electron transport occurs in the mitochondria. A mitochondrion is an organelle that is membrane bound.
What is the advantage of having a folder inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The inner membrane in the mitochondria has many folds called cristae. The advantage of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the membrane on which oxygen and carbohydrates combine to form ATP.
