Your muscles need a lot of energy to work, since every movement you make is using a lot of your muscles, and since ATP is energy, you need a lot of energy to go to your muscle cells because you use them all the time - even like typing at the computer, or just sitting up straight at your computer chair.

∙ 11y agoMuscle tissue requires energy for exercise as it contracts. Mitochondria provide this energy in the form of ATP (molecules of energy). Therefore there are high numbers of mitochondria in the muscle tissue.

Why di muscle cells have many mitochondria?
Muscle requires a lot of ATP , mitochondria produces ATP
Where is ATP consumed in muscle cells?
Mitocondria
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 that muscle cells have many mitochondria?
Any cell that is going to require large amounts of energy in a short period of time will tend to have a high number of Mitochondria. This is because mitochondria produces the energy currency of the cell, adenosine triphosphate, which produces energy.
Why must one expect to see a larger number of mitochondria in muscle cells?
Mitochondira generate a cells fuel, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used as a source of chemical energy, which you need because muscle cells are so active.
Why do muscle cells have the most mitochondria in your body?
muscle cells use this myosin heads that use ATP to contract. the enery needed (ATP) is provided by the bast amount of mitochondria. Which is why muscle cells need so much of them.
What has more mitochondria a heart cell or a skin cell?
Muscles cells require vast amounts more mitochondria, in order to release the ATP energy necessary to contract and help us move.
Why do certain cells have more Mitochondria than others?
Some cells need more energy (and therefore more ATP). ATP is synthesizd in mitochondriacardiac muscle cells need to work continuously, so they have a large number of mitochondria.Source; Yahoo.com
What has more mitochondria bone cells or muscul cells?
Muscle cells, of course. You are always using you muscles, which are supported by static bone structurally (excluding smooth and cardiac muscle, which also need much ATP but not static support ), so these muscles need a lot of ATP energy that is supplied by the mitochondria.
During rapid exercise how do your muscles produce ATP?
Fueled by the metabolism of sugar, the ATP byproducts (ADP) are reconstituted into ATP molecules. Use of ATP energy requires no oxygen - when the ATP is depleted the muscle cells must use cellular respiration to obtain energy and once the muscle is at rest the ATP stores are replenished.
Why di muscle cells have many mitochondria?
Muscle requires a lot of ATP , mitochondria produces ATP
Where is ATP consumed in muscle cells?
Mitocondria
The force of a muscle contraction is not affected by?
the amount of ATP in the muscle cells
What kind of cells would you expect to contain large number of mitochondria?
The number of mitochondria indicates the energy need of a particular cell; meaning, if a cell has a large number of mitonchoria, that cell (for example a muscle cell) must have a high demand for energy.
What energy sources for the contraction of muscle cells?
ATP
What two mechanisms are used to generate ATP from glucose to muscle cells?
Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
Why do some cells have more mitochodria?
Cells such as liver cells, sperm cells and muscle cells have more mitochondria. This is because they are more metabolically active and need a plentiful supply of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for metabolic processes. For example, many chemical processes occur in liver cells and sperm cells are known for movement.
