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.
