How does the folded nature of the cristae within mitochondria affect their function?
A. The folds increase the amount of energy needed by the
mitochondria to move materials across the membrane.
B. The folds decrease the amount of energy captured by the
mitochondria to break down glucose.
C. The folds increase the surface area to increase the efficiency of
mitochondrial reactions.
D. The folds decrease the rate of transfer of ATP across
mitochondrial membranes to help the cell conserve energy.
