Function of Mitochondrial Cristae. Before we can explain the functioning of the crista (plural = cristae), we need to revisit what a mitochondrion does. The mitochondrion is the cellular organelle where cellular respiration takes place.Cellular respiration is the process that creates chemical energy in the form of ATP from simple food molecules.ristae are folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane. The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis takes place on this membrane as part of cellular respiration to create ATP and can be seen in the diagram:
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.
