Inner membrane convulsions of the mitochodria are called:
Correct answer: B. Cristae
- A. Grana
- B. Cristae
- C. Thylakoid membrane
- D. Intergrana
Explanation
The correct answer is cristae. The cristae are folds of the inner membrane of mitochondria, which increase the surface area for chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. Grana, thylakoid membranes, and intergrana are all associated with chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis, not with mitochondria.

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.
