Cristae are sub-compartments of the inner membrane of mitochondria and are essential to mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are often considered the powerhouses of the cell since they are the organelles responsible for the generation of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Mitochondria are comprised of an outer and an inner membrane. Each membrane has a distinct form and purpose. The outer membrane controls the organelle’s shape and is essential for the communication of mitochondria with other organelles. The inner mitochondrial membrane is made up of two sub-compartments: 1) the inner boundary membrane, which is adjacent to the outer membrane, and 2) the folded cristae whose protrusions and folds penetrate the inner mitochondrial matrix.
The folded cristae membrane contains cylindrical connections to the inner membrane called cristae junctions.

Answer:
Cristae are present in Mitochondria.
Cristae are folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane. ... The cristae increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for faster production of ATP because there are more places to perform the process.
