Cristae in mitochondria serve as a site for:
Correct answer: D. Oxidation-reduction reaction.
- A. Protein synthesis
- B. Phosphorylation of flavoprotein.
- C. Breakdown of macromolecules.
- D. Oxidation-reduction reaction.
Explanation
The cristae of mitochondria house the electron transport chain, where oxidation-reduction reactions occur as part of cellular respiration, facilitating ATP production.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
