The inner membrane of mitochondria is ruffled becase it's to provide greater surface area. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is called cristae.
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.
In the organelle called the mitochondria.In eukaryotes, electron transport occurs in the mitochondria. A mitochondrion is an organelle that is membrane bound.
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.
The electron transport chain (ETC) occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is comprised of a series of protein complexes embedded in the membrane, through which electrons are passed along to generate ATP.
Mitochondria are surrounded by membranes.They have two membranes.

The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondria. It consists of a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which is used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
I don't think so. I think they are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, but I could be wrong.
inner membrane
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
There are 3 main parts.Outer membrane,inner membrane and stroma.
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.

Inner membrane of the mitochondria and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
It is called cristae. That is due inner foldings
