Cell CFA

A mitochondrion has two membranes. The inner membrane is highly folded, as shown in the diagram below. The folds greatly increase the membrane’s surface area. This improves the ability of the mitochondrion to do which of the following?

• move the cell through water

• digest metabolic wastes in the organelle

• convert solar energy to chemical energy

• produce ATP during cellular respiration
