How are highly folded membranes an advantage for the functions of cellular parts? name an organelle that has highly folded membranes.

Membrane folds of an organelle increase the surface area where chemical reactions occur, this is very advantageous. One organelle that has folds in the membrane is mitochondria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are formed by two lipoprotein membranes, one external and one internal:

External membrane: Similar to other organelles, smooth and composed of lipids and proteins called deporins, which control the entry of molecules, allowing the passage of some relatively large. Inner membrane: It is less permeable and has numerous folds, called mitochondrial ridges. These folds have a great advantage for mitochondria as they increase the surface area where chemical reactions occur.

It would be most likely be prophase because of the chromosomes duplicating. but without the picture, it’s really hard to tell
