Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondrial cristae are folds of the mitochondrial inner membrane that provide an increase in the surface area. Having more cristae gives the mitochondrion more locations for ATP production to occur. In fact, without them, the mitochondrion would not be able to keep up with the cell’s ATP needs.
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.
