Why do muscle cells contain a great number of mitochondria while white blood cells contain many lysosome?
For the proper functioning of muscles ie,for lcomotion it needs more enegy, mitochondria is the major site of energy production in the form of ATP where the major function of WBC is to give immunity,lysosome function to dystroy the forigen inviders.
How can the number of mitochondria in a cell decide its function?
If there are many mitochondria in a cell, we can clarify that this cell's function would be to support, or be involved in the process of respiration.. I think!
Which cells would need a large number of mitochondria to function and survive?
They form asters in cell division.They also organize micro tubules in division.
Which factor most likely has the greatest effect on number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
The amount of energy the flow H+ ions have EDIT: The speed of the H+ ions
Why mitochondria are able to make some of their proteins?
as they contain their own DNA and hence are able to synthesize proteins,but the DNA contains small number of genes so it is able to produce some of the proteins.
Cells that are active in exocytosis would likely contain many?
If a cell is very active, it would need to have a large number of Mitochondria.
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
Some cells contain large numbers of mitochondria while others have relatively few or none This suggests?
This suggest that the cell with more number of mitochondria need more energy (ATP) to per form its function.

How many mitochondria does a skin cell have?
Cells that require the most energy contain the most energy generating mitochondria. The cells of the brain, the skeletal muscle and heart muscle, and the eye contain the highest number of mitochondria (as many as 10,000 per cell) while the skin cells, which do not require much energy, contain only a few hundred of them.
Which cell has largest number of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have the largest number of mitochondria.
What organ systems provide the mitochondria with the food that they break down to release energy?
No organ system has this function. The mitochondria are found in nearly every of the trillions of cells found in your body. The number of mitochondria per cell varies widely; for example, in humans, erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not contain any mitochondria, whereas liver cells and muscle cells may contain hundreds or even thousands. Mitochondria are unlike other cellular organelles in that they have two distinct membranes and a unique genome and reproduce by binary fission; these features indicate that mitochondria share an evolutionary past with prokaryotes (single-celled organisms).
Cells that need large amounts of ATP would have many?
A high number of mitochondria. These are the organelles used in the process of aerobic respiration.
How many mitochondria are in an average human muscle contain?
Muscle contains around 750-1000 mitochondria per cell.
What factor most likely has the greatest effect on the number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
The Speed of the H+ ions
What is the physiological function of mitochondria?
"The powerhouse of the cell" - very simply put, mitochondria reverse photosynthesis. They take glucose, add oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Depending on their energy need, some cells have no mitochondria (red blood cells) and other have a large number of mitochondria (muscle cells/fibers).
