Hi friend,

Mitochondria is considered as the powerhouse of the cell and responsible to provide energy. The energy consumption is large due to which it is necessary for the mitochondria to produce enough. In order to increase the energy production, the cell membrane consists of multiple folds which are known as cristae. These folds large surface area for the chemical reactions can take place in abundance and produce energy.

Thanks for asking.
