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.

Mitochondria are called the power plants of the cell because they use energy from organic compounds to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the cell's energy source that is used for such things such as movement and cell division. cristae: Inner membrane folds of the mitochondrion. 2  matrix: Fluid-filled inside of the mitochondrion. 3  mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion): Organelle in eukaryotic cells that makes energy available to the cell in the form of ATP molecules.
