Some cells require alot of energy from respiration and so require alot of mitochondria to carry out this increased amount of respiration

The inside of cells have a higher concentration of what?
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of Potassium. But there's a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell.
What type of cell has more than one mitochondria?
Almost all cell have more than one mitochondria, but maximum concentration is found in fast growing and multiplying cells.
Are there mitochondria in an animal cell?
yes both animal and plant cells have mitochondria
Why do certain cells have more Mitochondria than others?
Some cells need more energy (and therefore more ATP). ATP is synthesizd in mitochondriacardiac muscle cells need to work continuously, so they have a large number of mitochondria.Source; Yahoo.com
Where do you expect to find more mitochondria?
Liver cells have a high concentration of mitochondria. They can also be found nestled between myofibrils of muscle.
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of what?
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of Potassium. But there's a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell.
What is osmosis diffusion?
(WATER CELLS ONLY)Water cells move from a higher concentration gradient (more water cells) to a lower concentration gradient (less water cells) through a partially permeable membrane (allows certain substances in and out) and goes with the concentration gradient (high -> low)
Why are parietal cells acidophilic?
Parietal cells are acidophilic because they contain a large number of mitochondria. The mitochondria, which are needed to pump hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient, are acidophilic; therefore, parietal cells are acidophilic as well.
what TYPE of animal cell that has a lot of mitochondra?
Cells that require a lot of energy to carry out their functions, such as muscle cells and nerve cells, tend to have a high concentration of mitochondria. Muscle cells, for example, require a lot of energy to contract and relax, so they have a high density of mitochondria to produce the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) required for energy. Similarly, nerve cells require a lot of energy to transmit signals along their length, so they also have a high concentration of mitochondria. Other cells that have a high density of mitochondria include liver cells, which have a lot of metabolic processes, and kidney cells, which require a lot of energy to carry out their filtration function.
Did dinosaurs have mitochondrian?
Considering that most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria and that dinosaurs are eukaryotes like all other animals that ever lived, it is certain that they did have mitochondria in their cells. In fact, birds are considered dinosaurs (they certainly descended from dinosaurs) and their cells have mitochondria, so we can be as sure as scientifically possible that dinosaurs indeed did have mitochondria.
Osmosis in cells?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
What type of cell has more than one mitochondria?
Almost all cell have more than one mitochondria, but maximum concentration is found in fast growing and multiplying cells.
Are there mitochondria in an animal cell?
yes both animal and plant cells have mitochondria
DO prokaryotic cells have mitochondria?
No.. only eukaryotic cells have mitochondria...

Why must cells use energy to move particles from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration?
equilibrium
