Question

Why does mitocondria have largely folded inner membrane.

Answer 1

Answer:

The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. ... The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The folding of inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. the increased surface area creates more space for the chemical reactions to be done.
