1 (i) mitochondria

(ii)  The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. That folding increases the surface area inside the organelle. Many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The increased surface area allows the small organelle to do as much work as possible. If you have more room to work, you can get more work done.
