Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The inner lining of the mitochondria is deeply folded to provide maximum surface area for ATP production. ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is known as the energy currency of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are surrounded by a double-membrane system, consisting of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes separated by an intermembrane space (Figure 10.1). The inner membrane forms numerous folds (cristae), which extend into the interior (or matrix) of the organelle.
