In an experiment, researchers compared the growth of two different plants, plant X and plant Y. The researchers maintained the plants under nearly identical conditions and observed that plant X grew faster than plant Y. The researchers also observed that the inner mitochondrial membranes of plant X had more folds than did those of plant Y. Which of the following conclusions about increasing the number of folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane is best supported by the results of the experiment

A. It increases the efficiency of photosynthesis, which results in faster cell growth.
B. It increases the surface area available for ATP production, which results in faster cell growth.
C. It increases the amount of space available for storing cellular wastes, which results in faster cell growth.
D. It increases the rate of protein transport to the plasma membrane, which results in faster cell growth.

B.It increases the surface area available for ATP production, which results in faster cell growth.

Explanation:

The electron chain reaction in the mitochondria occur at the inner mitochondrial membrane, So greater the folding of inner membrane of mitochondria that is also known as cristea, greater would be ATP Production.

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
