Muscle cells don't use fat cells when they are burned. An increase in muscle can raise the metabolism causing the muscle cells to burn off the fat cells in storage.

Why do muscle cells have the most mitochondria in your body?

Muscle cells require a lot of energy to function, especially during physical activity. Mitochondria are the main energy producers in cells, so muscle cells have more mitochondria to meet their high energy demands. This allows them to generate ATP efficiently to power muscle contractions.


Why would muscle tissue cells require more mitochondria than fat cells?

The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, where ATP molecules are produced. These high energy molecules provide the body with energy. Muscle tissue cells require more mitochondria than fat cells because they do a lot more work, hence they need more energy.


What type of cells contain lots of mitochondria?

Active cells such as muscle and liver cells have more mitochondria than others because they use up a lot more energy to carry out their roles and stay alive. Thus needing the extra mitochondria to produce more energy.


Do smooth muscle cells lack striations?

Yes, smooth muscle cells lack the striations seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. Instead, smooth muscle cells have a more uniform appearance under the microscope due to the absence of organized sarcomeres.


Do your body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation?

No, not all body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation. Different cells in the body have different energy needs and can switch between these processes depending on factors such as oxygen availability and energy requirements. Cells like muscle cells primarily use aerobic respiration, while certain microorganisms and muscle cells can use fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

When does your stomach burn fat and when does it burn muscle?

Your stomach doesn't burn fat. Your body does. If you mean when does your body burn fat, it's simple. When there is cortisol in your system from a stressful workout and your muscle mass is being used and maintained, you will burn fat. If cortisol is released but your muscles aren't being used much as in steady state cardio, muscle will be burned. Focus on short, intense workouts and use your muscles rather than steady, boring cardio. This will make you fat and weak.

How are calories important to your bodies?

Calories are only a measure of how much energy you can get from a nutrient or a food source. The more calories you get, the more energy you can burn. However if you burn less calories of what you ingest, you get stored fat. Calories are how we measure energy from foods for our body. When we get more calories than we burn, we store the extra in fat cells. This is how we gain weight. When we eat less calories than we burn, we use the extra calories tored in fat cells. This is how we lose weight.
