Why does a muscle cell contain many mitochondria and a white blood cell contain many lysosome?

Lysosome has digestive enzymes that can digest foreign cells that enter the body. These foreign cells can cause infections or diseases. White blood cells are the defence system of the body, that's why it makes sense why they contain many lysosomes. White blood cells can engulf foreign cells to prevent infections or diseases.

∙ 14y agoMuscle cells contain more mitochondria than other cells because they need more ATP to function as they do lots more work than other cells.
White blood cells contain lots of lysosomes to digest foreign bodies and stop them causing disease.

∙ 12y agoFor muscle movement, ATP is needed, so it's an good idea to have many ATP factories nearby.
White blood cells are responsible for immune response, so they need many of this greedy lysosomes to eat & degrade viruses an the like.

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.
Does blood contain Mitochondria?
White blood cells have. But erithrocytes lack many
What kind of cells might have a high number of mitochondria?
Muscle cellMetabolically very active cells have many mitochondria. Cardiac cells,kidney cells,sperms have many mitochondria
What cellular organelle is especially abundant in phagocyte white blood cells?
Phagocytic white blood cells contain a large number of lysosomes. These organelles contain enzymes that break down waste and cellular debris - which is why phagocytes (which engulf and digest things) contain many lysosomes.
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.

Is there more mitochondria in blood or muscle?
in the blood
Does mitochondria contain hemoglobin?
No they do not contain.red blood cells even lack mitochondria
Does blood contain Mitochondria?
White blood cells have. But erithrocytes lack many
What types of cells in your body contain most mitochondria?
red blood cells
Which cell don't have mitochondria in them?
RPCProkariyotic cells do not have any.Some eukariyotic cells like mammalian RBC lack mitochondria
Hemoglobin in red blood cells and cytochrome c in mitochondria both contain what the mineral?
the mineral is iron.
Does epimysium contain nerves and blood vessels?
Yes, the connective tissues of the epimysium contain the blood vessels and nerves that supply the muscle fibers

What are lysomes help the white blood cells do their job?
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes within a cell. When a white blood cell engulfs a bacterium, the lysosome will merge with the vesicle containing the bacterium and digest it.
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).
