DNA is alike in other cells of the body, but depending on the specific cell type, some genes may be turned on or off. this is why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell.

What is the correct order of materials in the human body in increasing radiodensity air liver fat blood bone muscle?

Air, fat, muscle, blood, liver, bone. The order is based on increasing radiodensity, with air being the least dense and bone being the most dense.

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.


What cells are expected to have more mitochondria?

Cells with high energy demands, such as muscle cells, liver cells, and neurons, are generally expected to have more mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP, the cell's main energy source. Therefore, cells that require a lot of energy for activities like muscle contraction, detoxification in the liver, or maintaining electrical impulses in neurons will have more mitochondria.

Why does fat turn to muscle?

It doesn't. Fat and Muscle are both completely different things.


Do muscles liver and kidneys have fat?

Muscle can contain fat. In beef, we call this "marbling" because it looks something like the streaks in marble. The liver can also contain fat. I'm not sure about the kidneys, though they're often surrounded by fat.

Which type of pancreatic cell produces insulin?

Insulin is a hormone that regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.


Which tissues are not insulin dependent?

Yes, the brain, kidneys and intestines


What is the charcteristics of unsaturated fats?

Increase fat storage in fatty tissues, as well as in unwanted places such as liver and muscle.


What happens if you cut down on fat and carbs and have a lot of sugar instead?

Sugar is pure carbohydrate so it makes no difference if you cut down on your other carbohydrates if the sugar intake is great enough. Furthermore a rapid increase in blood glucose levels will lead to the sugar being taken up by muscle and liver and converted to fat (in the liver) or a precursor like lactic acid (muscle) that is then converted to fat later on (liver).


Is liver high in fat?
