To move is to use energy. Energy equals force times distance (crudely said). A muscle cell not only moves itself, but the "arm" attached to it.

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 type of cell would be more likely to have many mitochondria fat cell or muscle cell?

Mitochondria is the part of cells that generate energy by turning nutrients and oxygen into fuel for the body. Muscle cells need this ability more because they are constantly working; fat cells do not need it as much.


What would be more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells?

Mitochondria would be more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells, as muscles require more energy to function. Additionally, myofibrils (contractile units) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (stores calcium ions) would also be more abundant in muscle cells compared to skin cells.


What cells in your body would contain a lot of mitachondria?

a muscle cell will need alot of mitochondria for energy as it uses up a lot when the muscle contracts and relaxes rapidlyAny cells which would require a great deal of energy to fulfill their function, such as muscles.


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

Muscle cells require more energy to fuel the contraction process, making them more metabolically active. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Therefore, muscle cells have more mitochondria to meet the high energy demands required for muscle function. Skin cells, on the other hand, are mainly involved in providing protection and barrier functions, requiring less energy and hence fewer mitochondria.


Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells have?

mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.


Which of your cells would yo expect to have more mitochondria?

I would say muscle cells and sperm cells. The mitochondria is the power house of the cell producing the energy need for the cells. Our muscles use up a lot of energy doing everyday activities and sperm cells need the energy for the movement of its flagella.


Would you find more mitochondria in the muscle cell or the liver cell of an athlete?

Muscle cells because mitochondria is a cells energy source and in order for an athlete to play their sport or do their activities, they need a lot of energy.


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.


Where do you expect to find more mitochondria?

You would expect to find more mitochondria in cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells or liver cells. These cells need more mitochondria to produce ATP through cellular respiration to meet their energy demands.


What type of tissue would likely be composed of cells that contain many mitochondria?

Cells that do a lot of work or activity such as muscle cells.


Which type of cells would have more mitochondria and why?

Mitochondria is a procaryotic remnant in our cells with the purpose of creating energy needed by cells to perform their function. Some sells need more energy that others and therefore tend to have more mitochondria. Cells that need lot of energy (ATP) has more mitochondria than cells that require less.
