An ultramicroscopic space or channel occurring between the membranes is the definition of cisternae. Perhaps understanding this as a river valley.
While the cristae is a ridge or crest. And this as the top (ridge) of a chain of hills.

What is the difference between a dyad and triad in skeletal cardiac muscle?

In skeletal muscle, a triad is formed when a T-Tubule is flanked on either side by the calcium containing Terminal Cisternae of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, at the level of the Z-line. The intimate association of these three membranous sturctures (Terminal Cisternae---T-Tubule---Terminal Cisternae) for a Triad. This differs from a diad (or Dyad), in cardiac muscle where the T-Tubule is only intimately associated with ONE Terminal Cisternae.


What is the difference between Cristae and the matrix?

Cristae are the folds in the inner membrane of mitochondria that increase its surface area for cellular respiration. The matrix is the fluid-filled space inside the inner membrane where the citric acid cycle and other metabolic reactions take place.Together, Cristae and the matrix play a crucial role in generating ATP through aerobic respiration.


What is the function of the cisternae?

The function of the cisternae is the modification of proteins into the final products. The cisternae are found and make up the Golgi Apparatus.


What is the difference between cristae and mesosome?

Cristae are internal folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane that increase surface area for cellular respiration. Mesosomes are invaginations of the plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells that are involved in cellular processes like cell division and respiration. Mesosomes are not found in eukaryotic cells.


Where are cristae present in a cell?

Cristae are present in the mitochondria.

What are cisternae in Golgi apparatus?

# A cisterna (plural cisternae) comprises a flattened membrane disk that makes up theGolgi apparatus. A typical Golgi has anywhere from 3 to 7 cisternae stacked upon each other like a stack of dinner plates, but there are usually around 6. The cisternae carry Golgi enzymes to help or to modify cargo proteins traveling through them destined for other parts of the cell. # The cisternae also carry structural proteins important for its maintenance as a flattened membrane and its stacking upon each other. # The earliest cisternae are called the cis-cisternae, followed by the medial cisternae, then the trans-cisternae (as they move away from the endoplasmic reticulum). # The formation of new cisternae is often called the cis-Golgi network and at the end of the Golgi where transport to other parts of the cell occurs is called the trans-Golgi network. Both are thought to be specialized cisternae leading in and out of the Golgi apparatus. # Cisternae may also refer to flattened regions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What is stored in the terminal cisternae?

calcium

What organism has mitochondria with disc shaped cristae?

The organism that has mitochondria with disc-shaped cristae is fungi. Fungi have mitochondrial cristae that are organized into flat, disc-shaped structures instead of the typical tubular or finger-like cristae found in other organisms like animals. This unique morphology of mitochondrial cristae in fungi may be related to their specific energy requirements and lifestyle.
