What is cristae?
"Cristae (singular crista) are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a Mitochondrion." "They are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase and a variety of cytochromes. The maximum surface for chemical reactions to occur is within the mitochondria. This allows cellular respiration (aerobic respiration since the mitochondria requires oxygen) to occur" (All the above is from Wikipedia) Basically: -Cristae are formed by the inner membrane of the Mitochondrion -Cristae are studded with protein -Cristae allow Aerobic Cellular Respiration to occur CMS PRIDE GO RAMS
IS nuclei are within the inner membrane of the mitochondria and increase its ability to create ATP?
No. The inner membrane contains many folds called cristae, which increase the surface area inside the organelle. The cristae increase the efficiency of the chemical reactions, allowing the mitochondria to create more ATP.
Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells and what else does Aerobic respiration occur in?
Mitochondria are composed of two membranes. the inner membrane forms many folds called cristae, which provide a large surface area where chemical reactions take place. the number of mitochondria present in different cells is related to the rate of energy usage by the cell.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
How are the folded membranes in mitcochondria an advantage?
The folds (cristae) make for a larger surface on which chemical reactions can take place and hence improve productivity of the mitochondria.
Where does mitochondria reactions occur in the cell?
There are two places.They are cristae and inner membrane.
Where do most ATP productions occur?
The cristae of the mitochondria

Were does the electron transport chain occur in the cell?
In the cristae of the organelle called the mitochondria.
Where do the second and third phase of cell respiration occur?
2nd one in cristae of mitochondria.3rd one in inner membrane of mitochondria.
IS nuclei are within the inner membrane of the mitochondria and increase its ability to create ATP?
No. The inner membrane contains many folds called cristae, which increase the surface area inside the organelle. The cristae increase the efficiency of the chemical reactions, allowing the mitochondria to create more ATP.
The folded inner membrane in mitochondria which increases surface area for chemical reactions to take place is called what?
Cristae
Where in eukaryotic cells does aerobic respiration occur?
In eukaryotic cells respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The reactions of the Krebs cycle occur within the liquid matrix of a mitochondrion. The carrier molecules of the electron transport chain lie on the inside of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. Cristae increase the surface area of this membrane, increasing the rate of oxidation-reduction reactions. Hope this answers your question.
Where are cristae present in a cell?
Cristae are present in the mitochondria.
What do the cristae do for the mitochondria?
The folds of inner membrane of mitochondria are called cristae (singular: crista). Crista increases the surface area of mitochondria. Most of the biochemical work of mitochondria is done on the cristae.
What organism has mitochondria with disc shaped cristae?
euglenozoa have disk shaped folds in the mitochondria (cristae)
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.
