Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum. You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
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.
How many membranes do mitochondira have?
Mitochondria have two membranes: an outer membrane and an inner membrane. The double-membrane structure helps compartmentalize different functions within the mitochondria, allowing for efficient energy production through processes like oxidative phosphorylation.
What are the folded layers in the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
Cristae (singular; crista)
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
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.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
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.
Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum. You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
Why is the inner membrane folded?
Mitochondria
What is in mitochondria?
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.

Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
Is mitochondria have 2 membranes?
yes, inner and outer membranes
What is a series of folded membranes that moves materials around in a cell?
The mitochondria
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
Why are the membranes of mitochondria tightly folded?
so there is more area for the production of ATP
