The folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae. They serve to provide a greater surface area for the proton-pump through which protons pass down their â¦ concentration gradient through ATP synthase to produce ATP in cellular respiration.1 person found this useful.he folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae.

In the mitochondrion, the matrix contains soluble enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of pyruvate and other small organic molecules.The mitochondrial matrix also contains the mitochondria's DNA and ribosomes.The word matrix stems from the fact that this space is viscous, compared to the relatively aqueous cytoplasm. The cytosolic compartment has a water content of 3.8 Î¼l/mg protein, while the mitochondrial matrix 0.8 Î¼l/mg protein.he mitochondrial matrix also contains the mitochondria's DNA and ribosomes.
