Mitochondria: a spherical or rod-shaped organelle found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It acts as the ~powerhouse of the cell~Â as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
Folds increase the surface area to volume ratio.Imagine a circle with folds all around the edge and another circle the same size with a flat edge. Both circles have the same volume, but the one with the folds has a much larger surface area.
These types of folds are called rugae, in the stomach they are the gastric rugae
Rod-shaped bodies with interior folds are called cristae. Cristae are found in the mitochondria and serve to increase the surface area for cellular respiration and ATP production.
The digestive tube structure in both earthworms and grasshoppers consists of several folds. These folds affect the efficiency of food absorption by increasing the surface area.
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
Enzyme specificity is mainly determined by the active site structure and the interactions between the enzyme and its substrate. The shape, charge, and chemical properties of the active site are crucial in determining which substrates can bind to the enzyme and undergo a catalyzed reaction. Additionally, enzymes undergo conformational changes upon substrate binding to further enhance specificity.
Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.
The mitochondrial structure affects its function because in its inner membrane, the cristae (folds) allow for more surface area which increases the amount of ATP that can be produced by the mitochondria.

The folds on the surface of the brain are called gyri.
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.

corrugated means shaped in to wavy folds and ridges
The folds on the free surface of a cell membrane are called microvilli. They increase the surface area of the cell membrane, allowing for greater absorption of nutrients and molecules. Microvilli are commonly found in cells that are involved in absorption, such as in the lining of the small intestine.
