What organelle is abundant in the muscle cells?
The organelle which is more abundant in muscle cells than in other cells is mitochondria. This is due to the fact that muscle cells require more energy than any other cells.
What type of muscle is rich in ATP?
Muscle fibers are rich in ATP. All muscle fiber types are rich in ATP (having many mitochondria).
What energy rich substance is being produced in the mitochondria?
sebum
What type of energy rich molecules are found in mitochondria?
ATP
Why can't ribosomes be seen under a light microscope?
Mitochondria are visible as a granular background in mitochondria-rich cells, but are too small to be seen individually. Each individual ribosomes is too small to see. They are also much smaller than mitochondria.

Why do muscles need more mitochondria than other types of body cells?
Mitochondria supply the cell with ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), which is the energy the cell needs. A heart cell is a type of muscle cell which needs plenty of energy to contract and keep functioning. This is why a heart cell needs more mitochondria than other cells- because they need more energy.
Do animal cells respire?
Animal cells respire in order to refresh the blood cells with oxygen rich molecules. The oxygen is then transported to the rest of the body for muscle use.
Powerhouses of the cells?
Mitochondria is known as power house of cell. They use carbohydrates and fats present in the cell to CO2 and water vapour. Oxidation releases energy, a portion of which is used to form ATP. Since the mitochondria synthesize, energy-rich compounds (ATP), they are known as 'power house ' of cell.
Mitochondrion is it found on animals or plants?
MitochondriaMitochondrion structureMitochondria are the energy factories of the cells. The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy-rich molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food. Just as the chloroplasts in plants act as sugar factories for the supply of ordered molecules to the plant, the mitochondria in animals and plants act to produce the ordered ATP molecules as the energy supply for the processes of life.A typical animal cell will have on the order of 1000 to 2000 mitochondria. So the cell will have a lot of structures that are capable of producing a high amount of available energy. This ATP production by the mitochondria is done by the process of respiration, which in essence is the use of oxygen in a process which generates energy. This is a very efficient process for using food energy to make ATP. One of the benefits of "aerobic exercise" is that it improves your body's ability to make ATP rapidly using the respiration process.All living cells have mitochondria. Hair cells and outer skin cells are dead cells and no longer actively producing ATP, but all cells have the same structure. Some cells have more mitochondria than others. Your fat cells have many mitochondria because they store a lot of energy. Muscle cells have many mitochondria, which allows them to respond quickly to the need for doing work. Mitochondria occupy 15 to 20 percent of mammalian liver cells according to Karp
Compare and contrast skeletal cardiac and smooth muscles?
Cardiac muscle uses aerobic respiration which is rich in myoglobulin, glycogen, and very large mitochondria that fills over 25% of the cell. Skeletal muscle only 2% of the cell. In turn makes cardiac muscle highly resistant to fatigue.
What energy rich substance is being produced in the mitochondria?
sebum
What type of energy rich molecules are found in mitochondria?
ATP
Why do skeletal muscles need a rich vascular supply?
Blood brings oxygen and ATP, which react with one another (oxidation), to the muscle cells. The result of this oxidation process (aerobic) is energy and heat. (Most of the body's heat originates from muscle activity.) Skeletal muscles will not contract unless stimulated by neurons.
Why can't ribosomes be seen under a light microscope?
Mitochondria are visible as a granular background in mitochondria-rich cells, but are too small to be seen individually. Each individual ribosomes is too small to see. They are also much smaller than mitochondria.
The vessels that carry oxygen to mycardial cells are called what?
Coronary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the tissues of the heart muscle. The oxygen diffuses within myocardial capillaries.
