Question

why is the inner membrane of mitochondria folded?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to make more surface area where chemical reactions can take place. The more the folds, the bigger the surface. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. These folds allow a much greater amount of electron transport chain enzymes and ATP synthase to be packed into the mitochondrion.

Answer 2

Answer:

To increase the capacity of the mitochondrion to synthesize AYP, the inner membrane is folded to form cristae. These folds allow a much greater amount of eletron transport chain enzymes and ATP synthase to be packed into the mitochondrion
