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.

Yes, the mitochondria is surrounded by a double membrane. The outer membrane is smooth, and the inner membrane is folded to form structures called cristae. This double membrane helps protect the contents of the mitochondria and regulate the flow of molecules in and out.


What is the advantage of having a folder inner membrane in the mitochondria?

The inner membrane in the mitochondria has many folds called cristae. The advantage of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the membrane on which oxygen and carbohydrates combine to form ATP.
