Would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscles cells?

Why do you bone cells and red blood cells have fewer mitochondria?
Red blood cells do not contain mitochondria, they are designed to deliver O2 via their complex heme centers & thus contain no nucleus/organelles, maximizing space for this job. Red blood cells arise from bone marrow stem cells & only circulate, carrying O2 for about 120 days before the spleen recycles their heme groups.
When a person has fewer red blood cells than normal how will his or her color?
when a person has fewer red blood cells than normal his or her color is yellowish
Why do you think muscle cells can have up to 5000 mitochondria but skin cells may have fewer than 100?
Our muscle cells are what enables physical exertions, such as lifting, running or even standing. With so many strenuous functions, muscle cells need a lot of energy to keep running efficiently. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They produce a high energy compound known as ATP. In the case of skin cells, which serve a protection and sensory purpose, they need far fewer mitochondria to run at their best.
How do white cells differ from red cells in their structure?
white blood cells have nucleii (unlike red blood cells) and do not contain hemoglobin (again, unlike red blood cells). they are irregularly shaped, and there are fewer of them in the body.
What does mitochondria have to do with repiration?
Mitochondria are the organelles within a cell that house the enzymes that are involved in aerobic cellular respiration. Cell types that have a high demand for ATP (such as muscle cells) have many mitochondria while cell types with a low demand for ATP (such as osteocytes) have fewer mitochondria.
Studies of fat cells and thyroid cells show that fat cells have fewer mitochondria than thyroid cells A biologist would most likely infer that fat tissue?
requires less energy then thyroid tissue
Would skin cells normally contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cells?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
What will the color of a person that has fewer red blood cells than normal?
fair white
When person has fewer red blood cells than normal how will his or her color look?
Yellowish
When microscope sliders are stained to show blood cells the small red blood cells that appear on the sliders are much more numerous than large white blood cells?
The concept of having a normal blood. Red blood cells as compared to the white blood cells are really more numerous. Normally, human blood contains about 3.6 to 6.2 x 1012/L red blood cells while while blood cells only reaches 5-10 x109/L.
Why does a bacterial cell not contain a mitochondria?
Bacterial cells don't perform the krebs cyce or oxidative phosphorylation steps of cellular respiration and therefore do not need mitochondria. Bacteria only perform glycolysis which is done in the cytoplasm to convert glucose into ATP to drive cellular work.
