Why are neurons and muscle cells rich in mitochondria?
Those cells are metabolically very active. So a lot is found
Why are metabolically active cells limited to very small sizes?
They are more metabolically acitve then larger cells because they have a smaller surface area to volume ratio then the larger cells which means the enzymes and proteins can move around faster and this makes the cell metabolically active.
Why are proteolytic enzymes produced in an inactive form?
Proteolytic enzymes will destroy the cells that produced them if they are produced in an active form. To protect the body's own cells these enzymes are secreted in an inactive form into the digestive tract and activated where they are needed.
What structure prduces the enzyme pepsin?
Pepsinogen is secreted by cells, witch is inactive, else cells made up of proteins would have got digested themselves. This inactive pepsinogen get converted to active pepsin after coming in contact with acid in stomach.
If the cell is active does it have more or less mitochondria?
An active cell will contain more mitochondria than an inactive cell. Mitochondria produce ATP, the main form of energy for cells.
What happens to the cells that enter the G0 stage?
The cells are alive and metabolically active.
What Happens To Cells That Enter To G0 Stage?
The cells are alive and metabolically active.
Mitochondria appear in the greatest numbers in cells that are?
metabolically active
What is the characteristic property of metabolically active cell?
Metabolically active cells have many characteristic properties. A healthy growth of cell number and cell activity is one property. Low numbers of decaying cells and active cell proliferation are other characteristics of metabolic activity.
What are found in all metabolically active cells and are involved primarily in transporting materials?
vesicles
Why are neurons and muscle cells rich in mitochondria?
Those cells are metabolically very active. So a lot is found
Why are metabolically active cells limited to very small sizes?
They are more metabolically acitve then larger cells because they have a smaller surface area to volume ratio then the larger cells which means the enzymes and proteins can move around faster and this makes the cell metabolically active.
Which cells in your body would have a large number of mitochondria?
Metabolically very active cells. Examples are cardiac and muscle cels
What is inactive cell in excel?
At any one time you can only be working on one cell in Excel, like when you are typing data. Even if you have many cells selected, only one can actually be used. That cell is the active cell. All other cells are inactive. So an inactive cell is any cell that is not the active cell.
Why would some cells like muscle cells have more mitochondria than another type of cell?
They are metabolically very active. They need a lot of energy
Is photovoltaic cells a living thing?
A photovoltaic cell is NOT a living entity. Living things have metabolically active cells; they grow; they reproduce; etc. A voltaic cell does none of these things.
Are bacteria metabolically complex or simple?
Prokaryotic cells (Bacteria) are structurally simplebut! Metabolically complex
