Provide a large surface area for the electron transport chain and the ATP synthase which are all located in these folds of the inner membrane.
Cristae are the site of ATP synthesis in mitochondria and their folded structure greatly increases the surface area of the sites available for synthesis to occur.
They are inner foldings. They increase surface area
Inner crista space of mitochondria
Cristae (singular; crista)
it is the internal compound formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondria. It is studded with protiens including ATP synthesis and a variety of cytochrome's
The folds of inner membrane of mitochondria are called cristae (singular: crista). Crista increases the surface area of mitochondria. Most of the biochemical work of mitochondria is done on the cristae.
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.

Crista Nicole's birth name is Crista Nicole Wagner.
Crista Cullen was born on August 20, 1985.

Eriopyga crista was created in 1856.
