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.

The. outer membrane. is. smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area. Why are mitochondria called the powerhouse of the cell? because they âburnâ or break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell.nside the folds or cristae is a space called the matrix that contains enzymes needed for the Kreb's Cycle? Color and label the matrix yellow on figure 3. FIGURE 3 - MITOCHONDRIA Mitochondria Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy molecule used by all cells to do work.
