If a cell is very active, it would need to have a large number of Mitochondria.

What do eukaryotic Cells have that prokaryotic Cells do not have?

Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum), and are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.


Which best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes


Why are organelles exclusive to plants?

Not all organelles are exclusive to plants. The only organelles which are exclusive to plant cells are the choloroplasts (site of photosynthesis) and the Vacuole (water container of the cell). If you're talking about prokaryotic cells (cells without nucleus, AKA bacteria) and Eukaryotic cells (cells with nucleus, AKA all other cells), then most organelles are exclusive to Eukaryotic cells (all except for ribosomes). The reason for this is because Eukaryotic cells are more developed and have acquired more features throughout evolution. See Endosymbiotic theory for more details on the evolution of Eukaryotes.


Were you able to observe any of these organelles in these Cells?

what organelles are you referring to? Plants and animal cells each have a few organelles that the other one doesn't. for instant, plant cells have cell wall, but animal cells don't. and animal cells have centrioles but plant cells don't....


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 cells of tape tum have dense cytoplasm and more than one nucleus?

The tapetum supports the development of pollen grains and synthesizes many components of the pollen wall. Therefore, it is highly active and contains numerous organelles capable of synthesizing what the pollen grains require.

Having membrane covered organelles a characteristic of what cells?

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-covered organelles, which compartmentalize cellular functions and allow for more complex and specialized processes to occur. This distinguishes them from prokaryotic cells, which lack membrane-bound organelles.

Does organelles allow eukaryotic cells to carry out more functions than prokaryotic cells?

Yes, the amount of organelles will differ in cells depending on their function. For example, muscle cells will have more mitochondria to provide more energy. Some organelles will just be larger; for example, the smooth ER is responsible for detoxification. There will only be one smooth ER unit in every cell, but cells involved in detox like liver cells will have a larger smooth ER.


Which weighs more a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?

Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells, so they usually weigh more. The additional organelles, such as mitochondria and nucleus, contribute to the increased weight of eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells.


What blood cells are there most of in the body?

Red cells are more numerous.


Which type of cells are more numerous in the blood?

Red blood cells


Do eukaryotic cells have membrane covered organelles?

Prokaryotic cells do'nt , but Eukaryotic cells do.Cytoplasm=cytosol(liquid, more or less) plus organelles. A defining characteristic of eukaryotics are organelles and yes these cells have cytosol so yes eukaryotic cells have cytoplasm.


Which contains more structures (organelles) animal cells or plant cells?

Both animal and plant cells contain a variety of organelles, but plant cells generally have more structures due to their unique functions. In addition to the organelles found in animal cells, such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles for storage and maintaining turgor pressure. This additional complexity allows plant cells to perform functions that are essential for their role in ecosystems. Thus, plant cells typically contain more organelles than animal cells.


Is very active like muscle cells and needs more energy what type of organelle will it need more of?

Muscle cells require a lot of energy to function, so they need a higher number of mitochondria, which are the organelles responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration. These organelles convert nutrients into energy, supporting the high metabolic demands of active muscle tissue. Additionally, a greater number of mitochondria allows for more efficient energy production to sustain prolonged physical activity.
