The surface area for storage of ATP would be drastically reduced
The organelle that contains a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane in a cell is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
The two main parts of the mitochondria are the outer membrane and the inner membrane. The inner membrane is folded into structures called cristae, which increases its surface area for energy production.
The area enclosed by the highly folded inner mitochondrial membrane is known as the cristae. These folds increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for proteins and enzymes involved in energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. The highly folded structure of the cristae enhances the efficiency of ATP production within the mitochondria.
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).
The folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area available for chemical reactions that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
Mitochondria
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.

Cristae (singular; crista)
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Cristae (singular; crista)
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.
It is mitochondria.
This description matches the structure of mitochondria. The outer membrane of mitochondria surrounds the organelle, while the inner membrane is folded into numerous layers called cristae, which help increase the surface area for energy production through oxidative phosphorylation.
