1. If you were talking to a classmate about the function of cristae in the mitochondrion's inner membrane, which of the following points would you want to make?
a. The cristae increase the inner membrane's surface area, generating the gel-like fluid portion of the mitochondrion.
b. The cristae increase the inner membrane's surface area, generating the compartments of the matrix.
c. The cristae decrease the inner membrane's surface area, generating the compartments of the matrix.
d. The cristae decrease the inner membrane's surface area, generating the gel-like fluid portion of the mitochondrion.
