What is the primary function of cristae in mitochondria?
1. To increase surface area for attachment of enzymes involved in cellular respiration
2. To compartmentalise mitochondrial DNA and regulate its replication
3. To store high-energy phosphate compounds synthesised during respiration
4. To facilitate transport of metabolites between matrix and intermembrane space
