How are chloroplast like mitochondria?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria both supply energy to the cell.
Is mitochondria a power house?
Yes, mitochondria are cellular 'power plants' for eukaryotes. Mitochondria generate the cell's supply of ATP, a molecule which is used as a source for chemical energy.
What kind of organisms that have mitochondria in their cells?
The organisms with mitochondria are both plant and animal cells because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate.
What does the mitochondria do in a plant and animal cell?
Mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants" because they generate most of the cell's supply of energy.
Process occur in the mitochondria?
The mitochondria is the "powerhouse of the cell" as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.
Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells have?
mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.
Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?
no
Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells do?
Mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration, during which the cell gets 36 ATP for every glucose molecule broken down. Since muscle cells are very active and require a lot of energy, they have more mitochondria than other kinds of cells.
What is an analogy for mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondria supply energy to the cell through their production of ATP, adenosine triphosphate. ATP releases energy when it forms ADP, adenosine diphosphate. There are more mitochondria in muscle cells than in skin cells because the muscle cells need more energy. Mitochondria are like the battery pack or dry cellsof the living cells.Mitochondria can also be the electrical supply of a company or fuel feeding a boiler.
How are chloroplast like mitochondria?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria both supply energy to the cell.
What do mitochondria supply?
They supply ATP to the cell.ATP is the currency of energy.
How does creatine phosphate supply energy for muscle contraction?
Creatine Phosphate cannot directly supply energy to a cell, instead, it stores energy released from mitochondria. Whenever sufficient ATP is present, an enzyme in the mitochondria (creatine phosphokinase) promotes the synthesis of creating phosphate, which stores excess energy in its phosphate bond.
Which organelle breaks down sugar molecules that supply energy to the cell?
mitochondria
What is the difference between a skin cell and a muscle cell in their structure?
Muscle cells contain a lot of mitochondria to supply energy to the cells and they are typically spindle shaped. Skin cells contain few mitochondira and are typically column or cubodial shaped.
What is the city analogy for the mitochondria?
to generate the cell supply
If cardiac muscle is deprived of its normal blood supply damage would primarily result from?
loss of oxygen.... the mitochondria in the cardiac muscle need it to continue to produce energy to keep the muscles contractiong without it the muscles seize from lactic acidosis a byproduct anaerobic respiration.
Two organelles that supply cells with energy?
Cytoplasm and mitochondria
