(a) lamellae

(b) thylakoids

(b) grana

(d) cristae✔✔

Answer 2

Inner membrane convolutions of a mitochondrion are known as cristae.

* These are the folds observed in the inner mitochondrial membrane. They can be classified into various shapes such as tubular, vesicular, etc.

* This provides a greater surface area for carrying out various biosynthetic processes such as the production of ATP.

* They are formed of cytochromes and ATP synthase that aid in the process of aerobic cellular respiration.
