Some cells such as human nerve and muscle contain many more mitochondria than do other?

Their function is basically to provide energy to the rest of the cell through respiration (break-up of food substrates into simpler usable products). So quite obviously, as the nerves and muscles use up the most energy, they have the most mitochondria.

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 kind of cell in the human body more mitochondria?
Muscle Cells
What part of the human body has the function of mitochondria?
the muscle
Why do human muscle cells contain?
they contain it for sexual reasons
What kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria cell or a skin cell?
They are in active cells. Some like muscle and cardiac cells
How many mitochondria are in an average human muscle contain?
Muscle contains around 750-1000 mitochondria per 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 kind of cell in the human body more mitochondria?
Muscle Cells
What part of the human body has the function of mitochondria?
the muscle
Why do human muscle cells contain?
they contain it for sexual reasons
In which kinds of human cells would you expect to find the most mitochondria?
Mitochondria is a cite in the cytoplasm also known as power house of the cell because of their energy generating ability in the cell. In humans there are many life activities that goes on in the body in order to make life possible. The prominent activity is that needs large amount of energy is reproduction. This occurs in the tissues, hence mitochondria are mostly found in muscle tissues for this life activity.
What kind of human cell would contain a high proportion of mitochondria?
Heart muscle
Where in the human body would you find cells with a large number of mitochondria?
it is the muscle in your body. it contains alot of energy and what no
What are some differences between epithelial cells and muscle cells?
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
Which type of cells would have more mitochondria and why?
Mitochondria is a procaryotic remnant in our cells with the purpose of creating energy needed by cells to perform their function. Some sells need more energy that others and therefore tend to have more mitochondria. Cells that need lot of energy (ATP) has more mitochondria than cells that require less.
Which cell type found in the human body is likely to contain most mitochondria?
Answers: Muscle cell
What kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria a muscle cell. Or a skin cell?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
