Two of the same types of cell have the same number of mitochondria, but one cell's mitochondria have more folds in the inner membrane than the other cell's mitochondria. How would having more folds in the inner membrane of its mitochondria affect the cell's function?
It would release less energy from glucose molecules. It would release more energy from glucose molecules. It would store less energy in glucose molecules. It would store more energy in glucose molecules.
fold called cristae in which oxisomes are present if more cristae more oxisomes more rapid speed of producing ATP means cellular rate increases in comparision to the cell who is having less fold in comparision to this one
so its a or c?

b... The inner membrane of the mitochondrion, the cristae is folded to increase the surface area. The cytochromes of the electron transport chain are located on stalked particles on the christae. The electron transport chain is the main energy (ATP) generating stage aerobic respiration. therefore increasing the surface area in this way makes the process nore efficient. Hope this helps!
@koikkara you're amazing! <3 thanks
