Mitochondria with extensive cristae are generally found in aerobic tissue cells that produce large quantities of ATP, such as muscle cells. Which of the following best describes how the increased amount of cristae in mitochondria leads to more efficient ATP production? The volume of the mitochondria matrix is increased. The volume of the intermembrane space is increased. The total number of ribosomes that synthesize ATP-producing protein complexes is increased. The total number of main ATP-producing protein complexes on the inner mitochondrial membrane is increased.
