Why does a muscle cell have more mitochondria in it than other types of cell?
Muscle cells are very active. Function of muscles cost lot of energy. So they need many mitochondria
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
What cell have more mitochondria a muscle cell or egg cell?
muscle
Which type of cell would have more mitochondria an egg cell or muscle cell?
muscle cell
Which cell contains more mitochondria?
muscle cell
What is the function of the mitochondria in the leg muscle of a runner?
The function of mitochondria is any cell is to generate energy in the form of ATP molecules. In the leg muscles of a runner however, the muscle cells are well trained and contain a larger amount of mitochondria. This results in more energy (ATP molecules) being produced.
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.
What is the function in mitochondria cells?
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
What is in a human mussel cell?
The mitochondria makes up muscle tissue. Mitochondria is the "energy" of the cell.
What job does the mitochondria have in the plant cell?
The job of the mitochondria has in it plant cell is the same job that mitochondria have in animal cell. The mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function.
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 does the mitochondria do in muscle cell?
it makes energy
