Yes, all cells contain mitochondria which is needed for energy production from sugar (the energy is in the form of ATP). All cells need ATP to keep ion pumps working, and a variety of other tasks. This applies even to "resting" cells that are not activated and simply waiting for something to stimulate them. B lymphocytes are resting cells - they are waiting for a foreign protein from a virus or bacteria to enter the body,. When that happens, the B cell (and ONLY those that bind the foreign protein) wake up and begin to do many other things.
Resting cells have fewer mitochondria than active cells. So when the B cells are in their resting state, tehy have very few mitochondria. When they become activated, they have many more.
What else can I help you with?
What is B lymphocytes associated with the production of?
B lymphocytes are associated with
Areas of the spleen that contain large numbers of lymphocytes are known as?
Areas of the spleen that contain large numbers of lymphocytes are known as white pulp. White pulp is composed of lymphoid tissue, including T and B lymphocytes, and is responsible for immune responses in the spleen.
What are the main two types of lymphocytes?
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
Why does the lymphocytes need more mitochondria?
they need more mitochondria because as we know, mitochondria is the power house and it produces energy... so, lymphocytes need more mitochondria because they need a lot of energy inorder to carry out theyre required function....
How do B lymphocytes respond to foreign protein?
B lymphocytes, or B cells would produce antibodies.
Which cells secrete the antibodies?
Lymphocytes LB
Do mitochondria contain proteins?
Yes, mitochondria contain proteins.
What does the medullary cords of a lymph node contain?
The medullary cords of a lymph node contain: reticular cells, lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells. It is important to understand that lymphocytes include both B cells and T cells. Note also that plasma cells derive from B cells. If asked a correct answer could be B cells and also plasma cells depending on the level of the material.
What do chloroplasts contain that a mitochondria does not?
chlorplast contain thylakoids unlike mitochondria
What is a collective label for t and b immune cells?
Lymphocytes
What is the function of B Lymphocytes?
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES: 1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response. 2.they secretes antibodies. 3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
