Yes they do, fat cells have very little function and therefore require much less energy than muscle cells.

Which cells would contain more mitochondria.Skin cellsor muscle cells?

Muscle cells.


Do cardiac muscle cells contain more mitochondria than skeletal muscle cells?

Both are very active.But skeletal muscles have more.


What organelle is abundant in the muscle cells?

The organelle which is more abundant in muscle cells than in other cells is mitochondria. This is due to the fact that muscle cells require more energy than any other cells.


Would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscles cells?

would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?


Would skin cells normally contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cells?

Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria


Why do muscle cells contain more mitochondria than cheek cells?

Mitochondria are called the power-houses of the cell, because this is where cellular respiration occurs (where the energy is made). Muscle cells perform much more work than cheek cells do, and so require more mitochondria.


What organelle provides the energy needed for muscle contraction?

The nuclei is one organelle that is important to the muscle system. This is because the nuclei helps the muscle system develop.


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

Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria


What would be more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells?

Mitochondria would be more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells, as muscles require more energy to function. Additionally, myofibrils (contractile units) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (stores calcium ions) would also be more abundant in muscle cells compared to skin cells.


Why would a muscle cell have more mitochondria than a skin cell?

Muscle cells require more energy to fuel the contraction process, making them more metabolically active. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Therefore, muscle cells have more mitochondria to meet the high energy demands required for muscle function. Skin cells, on the other hand, are mainly involved in providing protection and barrier functions, requiring less energy and hence fewer mitochondria.


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.


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.
