Would the first organisms be aerobic or anaerobic?

Yes. From our lectures, it was discussed that the first true cells were protozoans that lives anaerobically. Oxygen is literally a poison to them.

Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?

You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.

In what kind of environment would you expect to find organisms that carry out fermentation?

in an environment where there is little or no oxygen. aerobic respiration requires oxygen ad when it is not present fermentaion (anaerobic respiration) occurs because it works when oxygen isn't there

Mitochondria


In what kind of cell would you expect to find the most mitochondria?

What does the presence of mitochondria in each cell suggest about multicellular organisms?

It is believed that mitochondria, which have their own independent genetics, became part of cells originally as a symbiotic organism. The fact that they are found in all cells of multi-cellular organisms is a tribute to the usefulness of mitochondria. It may well be that multi-cellular organisms would be impossible without them.


Which of your cells would you expect to have more mitochondria your muscle cells or your bone cells?

Muscles cells, of course!
