Why would a muscle cell have more mitochondria than a skin cell?

Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs in order to function. Muscle cells require much more energy than the rest of the body, so the muscles contain more mitochondria.

∙ 8y agoMuscle cells have more mitochondria because mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, and muscle cells need more energy than skin cells.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agobecause muscles require more energy, but don't ask how many because the only answer you'll get is "it depends".
Wiki User
∙ 15y agobecause muscle cells do much more work and thus require more energy. Since mitochondria produce energy they would need more.

Which kind of cell in the human body would have more mitochondria- a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
Which cell contains more mitochondria?
muscle cell
Which has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
I would say the muscle because they need a lot of ATPs (which mitochondria produces) in order to make the sacromere contract. Nerve cell would also need a lot of mitochondria because it needs to constantly send signals to all different directions using sodium-potassium pump which requires the use of ATPs. Nerve cells use glucose as a primary source of fuel, so would have less mitochondria....cells which use fatty acids- and therefore Beta oxidation which can only take place in the mitochondria, are less likely to have a lot of mitochondria
Would be more numerous in muscle cell than in skin cells?
Mitochondria are more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells. Mitochondria give the muscle cells energy. Skin cells do not need as much energy to survive.
Which kind of cell in the human body would have more mitochondria- a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
Which type of cell would have more mitochondria an egg cell or muscle cell?
muscle cell
Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
What type of the cell would contain more mitochondria?
Muscle cell
What kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria a muscle cell. Or a skin cell?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
Which kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria- a muscle or a skin cell?
"muscle"
What cell have more mitochondria a muscle cell or egg cell?
muscle
Which of your cells would you expect to have more mitochondriz your muscle cells or your bone cells?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
Which cell contains more mitochondria?
muscle cell
Why would a muscle cell have more mitochondria than an egg cell?
Muscle cells need more mitochondria because muscle cells are much more active than egg cells. We use our muscles every day and all the time, so it would make sense that they would need more energy.
