The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly convoluted, forming structures known as cristae. What is the primary functional advantage of these folds?
Q1. The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly convoluted, forming structures known as cristae. What is the primary functional advantage of these folds?
Answer: Increasing surface area for ETC
Explanation: Cristae provide extensive surface area for embedding ETC components and ATP synthase. The matrix is wrong because it houses soluble Krebs enzymes.
