Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondrion possesses double membrane as its covering. The outer smooth surface and the inner membrane forms infoldings called as cristae, which increases surface area for more formation of energy in the form of ATP.
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: -So, the correct option is ‘At the cristae’
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
