Cristae are the infoldings of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. They are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase and a variety of cytochromes, and function in cellular respiration. They provide more surface area for cellular respiration to happen.
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.
