What organelle contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The chloroplast of plant cells and the mitochondrion of animal cells. Both of these are involved in the production of energy and are derived from the secondary endosymbiosis of an alga (in the case of the chloroplast) or a cyanobacteria (in the case of the mitochondrion).
Which is an organelle found in the cytoplasm has a smooth outer membrane and greatly folded inner membrane?
Endoplasmic Reticulum: a series of highly folded membranes, "rough" endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes attached to it. "Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.
Does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum have a single or double membrane?
yeh it is a double membrane bound organelle. the inner membrane is heavily folded for a large surface are for enzyme activity. its function is the synthesis, modification and distribution of protiens.
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.
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
Why is inner mitochondrial membrane folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.

What are rod-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm called that have a smooth outer membrane and a gently folded inner membrane called?
It is the mitochondria
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
Is chloroplast surrounded by membrane?
Yes, chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane. The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is folded into structures called thylakoids, where photosynthesis takes place.

"Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.
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 are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Why is the inner mitochondrai membrane folded?
to give it more sure area
