Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.
What else can I help you with?
Do plant cells contain mitachondria?
Yes, plant cells contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, including both animal and plant cells. They are the site of cellular respiration, where ATP (energy) is produced.
Is chloroplast found in both animal cells and plant cells?
Nope. It is only in plant cells. The mitochondria is basically the same thing as a chloroplast, only it is found in animal cells. Plant Cell - Chloroplast Animal Cell - Mitochondria
Do all cells have the same number of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
No, prokaryotic cells have none of either.
Does bacterial cells contain mitochondria?
Well, bacteria is made up of a cell, and there is mitochondria in a cell, so therefore there are mitochondria in bacteria. Wrong, bacteric cells do not have any mitochondria because bacteria are prokaryotic cells and mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells. Actually: Mitochondria are in both animal and plant cells. They contain a circular chromosome that contains DNA. They are where most of the ATP is made inside a eukaryotic cell. They likely evolved from once free-living bacteria. Prokaryotic cells are only domain Bacteria and domain Archaea, but they all evolved from a single cell that was bacteria, but have now separated cells.
What is a plant mitochondria?
They are energy generating organells.They are same in all cells
What is the location of mitochondria in a cell?
Mitochondria are suspended in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The quantity of mitochondria in a cell depends on the cell's energy demands, so cells such as muscle cells have more mitochondria suspended in their cytoplasm than have other cells. The mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm in the Animal cell, and the same in theplant cell just that it surrounds the central vacuole, the nucleus and the other parts of the cell.
Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?
Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.
Which one has less mitochondria digestive or adipose cells?
Adipose cells most certainly. Fat storage cells do not meed the same amount of energy as digestive cells do.
What is the same between a animal cell and a plant cell?
They both have nuclei, cytoplasm and cell membranes
Do liver cells contain connective tissue?
Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.
What organelle contain an adipocyte or fat cell?
Fat cells, or adipocytes, contain organelles such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria. These organelles work together to store and utilize fats within the cell for energy and other cellular functions.
Why are many mitochondria found in muscle cells?
Muscle cells require a lot of energy to contract and move. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Having many mitochondria in muscle cells ensures that they have a sufficient energy supply to meet the high demands of muscle contraction.
