Detailed explanation-1: -To increase the capacity of the mitochondrion to synthesize ATP, the inner membrane is folded to form cristae . These folds allow a much greater amount of electron transport chain enzymes and ATP synthase to be packed into the mitochondrion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondrial cristae are the folds within the inner mitochondrial membrane. These folds allow for increased surface area in which chemical reactions, such as the redox reactions, can take place.
Detailed explanation-3: -The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to make more surface area where chemical reactions can take place. The more the folds, the bigger the surface. These folds are called cristae.
Detailed explanation-4: -The internal layer known as the cristae is collapsed.-The folds of the internal layer or the cristae give an expansion in the surface area which gives the mitochondrion more areas for ATP creation to happen. Actually, without them the mitochondrion would not have the option to stay aware of the cell’s ATP needs.
Detailed explanation-5: -The intermembrane space located between outer and inner membrane contains proteins have a critical role in mitochondrial energetics and apoptosis (process of programmed cell death). Unlike the outer membrane, the inner membrane is highly impermeable to the ions and molecules.
