Asap 30 points the inner membrane of mitochondria consists of many folds. how does the structure of this membrane in the function of the mitochondria? a. increase the surface area to allow more space for atp synthesis during cellular respiration b. house enzymes needed for digestion c. provide structural support for the mitochondria d. decrease the surface area so substance can't diffuse in

Option (a).

Explanation:

Mitochondria are double-membrane bound, present in almost every eukaryotic cells. They provide site for the cellular respiration that produces ATP as energy molecules, and hence, are known as power house of the cell.

Inner membrane of mitochondria have many finger-like projections or folds, known as cristae that leads to an increase in surface area of inner membrane.

As ATP synthesis takes place on inner membrane of mitochondria, increased folding provides more surface area or space for ATP production.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (light);

not sure if this is what you'r looking for eubacteria and archaebacteria
