Hello

Here's the answer to your question...

→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. These folds are called cristae. The molecules and some of the enzymes that are responsible for making ATP are situated in and on the folds of these inner membranes.

Hope it helps..

hey mate...

here is your answer...

The Powerhouse of our cell known as Mitochondria(S.Mitochondrion) has outer membrane and inner membrane. The inner membrane known as the Cristae is folded. The folds of the inner membrane or the Cristae provide an increase in the Surface Area which gives the Mitochondrion more locations for ATP( the energy currency) production to occur. In fact, without them the mitochondrion would not be able to keep up with the cell’s ATP needs.
