Muscle cells need the most mitochondria, because the most energy is being produced there. Red Blood cells and White Blood (excluding Helper and Suppressor T) cells have the 2nd most amount, which are just enough to sustain life and all of the cell's functions. Last are brain cells, because most functions are cause by specific chemical reactions that cause energy themselves without needing the functions of the mitochondria.

Studies of fat cells and thyroid cells show that fat cells have fewer mitochondria than thyroid cells A biologist would most likely infer that fat tissue?

is less metabolically active than thyroid tissue due to the lower number of mitochondria in fat cells. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, so fewer mitochondria suggest lower energy production and metabolic activity.


Would you expect to find more mitochondria in liver cells which are very active or in teeth cells which are less active Why?

active cells or cells such as in brown fat(found in babies for extra warmth). mitochondira make energy available for the cell. so cells that need a lot of energy would have extra mirochondion.


Why does a bacterial cell not contain a mitochondria?

Bacterial cells don't perform the krebs cyce or oxidative phosphorylation steps of cellular respiration and therefore do not need mitochondria. Bacteria only perform glycolysis which is done in the cytoplasm to convert glucose into ATP to drive cellular work.


Which type of cells would have more mitochondria and why?

Mitochondria is a procaryotic remnant in our cells with the purpose of creating energy needed by cells to perform their function. Some sells need more energy that others and therefore tend to have more mitochondria. Cells that need lot of energy (ATP) has more mitochondria than cells that require less.


Which cell is mitochondrion found in animal cell or plant cell?

Actually,it depends however we can say that animal cell has more mitochondria. As plant cells' motion consists of locomotion which means moving on their axis,they utilise less energy. However,animal cells' motion is an active one so they utilise more ATP.Thus,animal cells have more mitochondria than plant cells as they produce energy much more.

Why do yeast cells need less mitochondria in a no oxygen environment?

Because this is America.


Do muscle cells have more or less mitochondria than other animal cells?

Muscle cells typically have more mitochondria compared to other animal cells. This is because mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP, which is essential for muscle contraction and movement. The abundance of mitochondria in muscle cells supports their high energy demands.


Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?

Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.

Which one has less mitochondria digestive or adipose cells?

Adipose cells most certainly. Fat storage cells do not meed the same amount of energy as digestive cells do.

How does lack of mitochondria affect ATP?

Cellular respiration is the process where animals can make energy or ATP. Pyruvates( product of the first step of cellular respiration) gets transferred to the mitochondria. If there are less mitochondria, less pyruvates will be made which means less ATP.


When does respiration occure?

Respiration occures in the cells of the body. Respiration is always occurring. We are always breathing, so respiration is always occurring Respiration occurs inside cells in organelles called MITOCHONDRIA. MITOCHONDRIA are found in both plant and animal cell.Cells that have a high energy requirement contain more MITOCHONDRIA than cells that require less energy. The muscle cell in your legs, for example: Have lots of MITOCHONDRIA.


If the cell is active does it have more or less mitochondria?

If a cell is actively performing functions that require energy, such as muscle cells during exercise, it will likely have more mitochondria to meet the increased energy demand. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through aerobic respiration, so more active cells typically have more mitochondria to support their metabolic needs.


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
