Muscles have many mitochondria. It needs much energy for contractions
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
Muscle cell
An active cell will contain more mitochondria than an inactive cell. Mitochondria produce ATP, the main form of energy for cells.
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
because it takes more energy to allow this organ to work same with the muscles
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (singular mitochondrion).
Muscle cells are very active. Function of muscles cost lot of energy. So they need many mitochondria
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.
muscles
There are more mitochondria in muscle cell than in most other cells in the body because the muscles do more movement. This means that the muscles need more energy.
The only way to kill the mitochondria in the cell is.... die. Life's processes are fueled by the energy that the mitochondria produce with the molecules that are taken in whether be plant or animal. Animal cells may contain more than one mitochondria for each cell. There can be as many as 20 individual mitochondria housed in a single cell.
