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.
Would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscles cells?
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
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
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?
is less metabolically active than thyroid tissue due to the lower number of mitochondria in fat cells. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, so fewer mitochondria suggest lower energy production and metabolic activity.
How does the number of mitochondria in the heart compar to the bone cells?
The number of mitochondria in heart cells is significantly higher than in bone cells. Heart cells, or cardiomyocytes, require a substantial amount of energy to support their continuous and rhythmic contractions, leading to a high density of mitochondria. In contrast, bone cells have lower energy demands, resulting in fewer mitochondria. This difference reflects the distinct functional requirements of these tissues.
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
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.
Some cells contain large numbers of mitochondria while others have relatively few or none This suggests?
that cells with high energy demands, such as muscle cells, have more mitochondria to produce ATP through aerobic respiration. Cells with fewer or no mitochondria may rely on other energy production methods or have lower energy demands.
How can the number of mitochondria in a cell decide its function?
The number of mitochondria in a cell can influence its function by providing more energy for cellular activities. Cells with higher energy demands, like muscle cells, tend to have more mitochondria to support energy production through aerobic respiration. Conversely, cells with lower energy needs, like skin cells, may have fewer mitochondria.
When person has fewer red blood cells than normal how will his or her color look?
Yellowish
