Compared to a skin cell a muscle cell is likely to have more?

A muscle cell is likely to have more mitochondria to support its energy demands for contraction, more myofibrils for muscle function, and a well-developed network of sarcoplasmic reticulum to regulate calcium levels for muscle contractions.


Why are there more mitochondria found in the muscles of the endurance athlete?

More mitochondria is found in the muscles of an endurance athlete than a sprinter. This happens beacuse Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell(in this case the muscle cell) and therefore produces usable energy supply for the cells through respiration. Energy produced is in the form of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate). For the cell respiration to happen faster in the cells and the cells to produce enregy (ATP) more mitochondria is needed beacuse an endurance athletes needs more energy.


Why do certain cells have more Mitochondria than others?

Some cells need more energy (and therefore more ATP). ATP is synthesizd in mitochondriacardiac muscle cells need to work continuously, so they have a large number of mitochondria.Source; Yahoo.com


Mitochondria produce the energy for cells. This means that cells that require more energy need more mitochondria. What type of cell would need to have more mitochondria?

Muscle cells, especially those found in the heart and skeletal muscles, require a significant amount of energy to perform their functions. Therefore, they would need to have more mitochondria to meet their high energy demands.


Which organelles are more numerous in active cells?

If a cell is very active, it would need to have a large number of Mitochondria.

What does more than likely mean?

More than likely mean it might happen


When does obesity happen?

it can happen at any time it less likely to happen at a young age due to high metabolism that's the least likely it is more likely to happen in the teen era+


If the cell is active does it have more or less mitochondria?

If a cell is actively performing functions that require energy, such as muscle cells during exercise, it will likely have more mitochondria to meet the increased energy demand. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through aerobic respiration, so more active cells typically have more mitochondria to support their metabolic needs.


Are blackouts more likely to happen to women?

That's like asking if blackouts are most likely to happen in the kitchen.


What step in the water cycle step is more likely to happen in the day than in the night?

Evaporation is more likely to happen in the day than in the night. There is more temperature in the morning.


What is the difference between a likely event and unlikely event?

A likely event, mathematically, is more then 50% likely to happen. An unlikely event is less then 50% likely to happen.


What does less likely than not mean?

Less likely means that it has more of a chance not to happen.


What organelle would athletes have more of?

The answer is mitochondria. Athletes have more muscles, therefore more mitochondria, which are abundant in muscle cells.Also see: What_organelle_do_athletes_have_more_of_than_sedentary_individuals


Does don't count on it mean no?

It means, do not assume it is gonna happen


Did people survive the guillotine?

Only if a malfunction occurred. However, it would more than likely be short lived because the injuries sustained would more than likely be life-threatening in a time where modern medicine was still in its infancy.
