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.

Mitochondria produce the energy for cells. This means that cells that require more energy need more mitochondria. What type of cell would need to have more mitochondria?

Muscle cells, especially those found in the heart and skeletal muscles, require a significant amount of energy to perform their functions. Therefore, they would need to have more mitochondria to meet their high energy demands.


Which type of cells do you imagine would have the most mitochondria?

Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells or cells in the heart, would likely have the most mitochondria.


What type of cells are mitochondria in?

Mitochondria are in eukariyotes.They are not in prokariyotes.


Why would some cells like muscle cells have more mitochondria than another type of cell?

They are metabolically very active. They need a lot of energy


Which type of cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria?

Muscle cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria.


What type of cell would have no mitochondria no nucleus and no Golgi apparatus but would have ribosomes?

Prokaryotic Cells


What type of cell has more than one mitochondria?

Most eukaryotic cells have more than one mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and generate energy through ATP production, so cells with high energy demands like muscle cells or liver cells often have numerous mitochondria.


What type of cell has a mitochondria?

Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (singular mitochondrion).


Which type of cell would be more likely to have many mitochondria fat cell or muscle cell?

Mitochondria is the part of cells that generate energy by turning nutrients and oxygen into fuel for the body. Muscle cells need this ability more because they are constantly working; fat cells do not need it as much.


Would you die without mitochondria?

Mitochondria are organelles that all of your cells contain. These organelles role is to harness energy for the cell through different chemical reactions. If all of your mitochondria "die" or more likely stop converting energy your cells would no longer have any energy, and without energy life becomes rather tough. I don't mean that in a you're tired type of way, but rather a cellular death type.


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.


Why do muscle cells have more mitochondria than any other cell type?

Muscle cells require a lot of energy to contract and function, which is why they have more mitochondria. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. Having more mitochondria helps meet the high energy demands of muscle cells.
