Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria

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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
What type of the cell would contain more mitochondria?
Muscle cell
What kind of human cell would contain a high proportion of mitochondria?
Heart muscle
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?
Which organelle would you expect to be the most highly concentrated in heart muscle cells?
Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.
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.
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.
In which kinds of human cells would you expect to find the most mitochondria?
Mitochondria is a cite in the cytoplasm also known as power house of the cell because of their energy generating ability in the cell. In humans there are many life activities that goes on in the body in order to make life possible. The prominent activity is that needs large amount of energy is reproduction. This occurs in the tissues, hence mitochondria are mostly found in muscle tissues for this life activity.
What organelle would a muscle cell require several of?
mitochondria.
What organelle would athletes have more of?
The answer is mitochondria. Athletes have more muscles, therefore more mitochondria, which are abundant in muscle cells.Also see: What_organelle_do_athletes_have_more_of_than_sedentary_individuals
What cells are expected to have more mitochondria?
the more active the cell is, the mitochondria it has. so therefore muscle cells have alot of mitochondria as compared to fat storing cells
Which type of cell would have more mitochondria an egg cell or muscle cell?
muscle cell
Which cell from heart muscle would probably have an unusually high proportion?
its either lysosomes, mitochondria, mRNA, or Golgi bodies
