Which type of cell would be more likely to have many mitochondria fat cell or muscle cell?

Mitochondria is the part of cells that generate energy by turning nutrients and oxygen into fuel for the body. Muscle cells need this ability more because they are constantly working; fat cells do not need it as much.

∙ 12y agoMitochondria are the energy sources for cells. Muscle cells consume much more energy to do their work than fat cells. Muscle cells have to contract/relax while fat cells basically just have to sit there.

∙ 9y agoSkin cells would be expected to contain fewer mitochondria than muscle cells because they do not move as much. This means that they don't need as much energy.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoMitochondria is the location of energy production for the cell, so a muscle cell that does more work than a fat cell would need more energy, and more mitochondria.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoA high energy demanding cell would have more mitochondria, which would be the muscle cell.

Compared to a skin cell a muscle cell is likely to have more?
mitochondria
Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
Which of your cells would you expect to have more mitochondriz your muscle cells or your bone cells?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
Which cell from heart muscle would probably have an unusually high proportion?
its either lysosomes, mitochondria, mRNA, or Golgi bodies
What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
Compared to a skin cell a muscle cell is likely to have more?

Which type of cell would have more mitochondria an egg cell or muscle cell?
muscle cell

Which kind of cell in the human body would have more mitochondria- a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
What type of the cell would contain more mitochondria?
Muscle cell
Which cell type found in the human body is likely to contain most mitochondria?
Answers: Muscle cell
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
Which kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria- a muscle or a skin cell?
"muscle"
What organelle would a muscle cell require several of?
mitochondria.

Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
What cell have more mitochondria a muscle cell or egg cell?
muscle
Which organelle would be highly prevalent in muscle and nerve cell?
mitochondria
