The folded membranes are inside the mitochondrion.
Question
How does the folded structure of a mitochondrion help it function to produce energy?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
The structure provides more surface area for energy production.
B.
The structure can hold many glucose molecules, which are used to store energy.
C.
The structure provides extra space for light energy to be turned into chemical energy.
D.
The structure prevents toxins from entering the mitochondrion and stopping energy production.
1 answer
The correct answer is:
A. The structure provides more surface area for energy production.
The folded inner membranes, known as cristae, increase the surface area available for the electron transport chain and other processes involved in ATP production, thus enhancing the mitochondrion's ability to generate energy.
