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.
Cristae Of Mitochondria. Cristae (singular crista) are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a Mitochondrion.. They are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase and a variety of cytochromes. The maximum surface for chemical reactions to occur is within the mitochondria. This allows cellular respiration (aerobic respiration since the mitochondria requires oxygen) to occur (All the above is from Wikipedia) Basically: -Cristae are formed by the inner membrane of the Mitochondrion -Cristae are studded with protein -Cristae allow Aerobic Cellular Respiration to occur
