What is the correlation between the energy requirements of cells and the number of mitochondria in cells?

Answer 1

Cells that are highly metabolically active have a high energy requirement for metabolic processes. Such cells include liver cells, muscle cells and sperm cells. These types of cell therefore have high numbers of mitochondria, the organelles that act as the site of aerobic respiration. This is because they need a plentiful supply of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy-carrier molecule) for metabolic processes.

Answer 2

Mitochondra are organelles responisble for energy porduction, The number of miochondria in a particular cell varies with the cell energy demands. So basically if there many mitochondria around, it means that that cell demands high energy.

Answer 3

The energy of ATP ultimately drives most of the chemical reactions that occur in a cell. Therefore, mitochondria are usually more numerous in cells that have a high energy requirement.

Answer 4

It is likely that the cell has high energy (ATP) requirements

Answer 5

as the no. of mitochondria increases in cell the energy production also increases, it is called as powerhouse of cell.

Answer 6

Mitochondria are the organelles that provide cells energy, so a cell would have more mitochondria if it required more energy, such as a muscle cell.

Answer 7

Many
