A large concentration of mitochondria are present in which section of a sperm cell?

A large concentration of mitochondria are present in the tail section of the sperm. The mitochondria are the energy components, and the tail needs the energy for it's journey to fertilization.


Can there be more than one of mitochondria in a cell at a time?

Yes, a cell can contain multiple mitochondria, depending on its energy needs. Mitochondria are important organelles that produce energy for the cell in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and cells can have varying numbers of mitochondria to meet their metabolic demands.


Why do Biologists suspect endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids?

Biologists suspect that mitochondria arose before plastids through endosymbiosis because mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cells, while plastids are only found in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Additionally, mitochondria share more structural and functional similarities with their bacterial ancestors than plastids do.


Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells and what else does Aerobic respiration occur in?

Mitochondria are composed of two membranes. the inner membrane forms many folds called cristae, which provide a large surface area where chemical reactions take place. the number of mitochondria present in different cells is related to the rate of energy usage by the cell.


Can you identify the organelles present in a plant cell?

Yes, the organelles present in a plant cell include the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, and cell wall.
