The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where cristae are found. Cristae are structures associated with a specific organelle in the cell. 2. **Identifying the Organelles**: The options provided are: - Surface of grana - Surface of plasma membrane - Membrane of mitochondria - Nuclear membrane 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Surface of Grana**: Grana are stacks of thylakoids found in chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis. Cristae are not found here. - **Surface of Plasma Membrane**: The plasma membrane surrounds the cell and does not contain cristae. - **Membrane of Mitochondria**: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and have a double membrane structure. The inner membrane is folded into structures called cristae. - **Nuclear Membrane**: The nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus and does not contain cristae. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, cristae are specifically found in the membrane of mitochondria. The folds in the inner membrane increase the surface area for biochemical reactions, particularly aerobic respiration. 5. **Final Answer**: Cristae are found in the membrane of mitochondria. ---
