Why is it important that the inner membrane of the mitochondria be folded in both plant and animal cells?

• The folded membrane increases the structure strength of the mitochondria.

• The folded membrane increases the surface area for energy production.

• The folded membrane increases the area available to construct proteins.

• The folded membrane increases the area for ribosomes to attach to its surface.
