What else can I help you with?
What macromolecule stores energy in the muscles?
The macromolecule that stores energy in muscles is glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a readily available energy source for muscle cells during physical activity.
What has more mitochondria your muscle or your bones?
muscles. The cells need to produce more energy
Why are there more mitochondria on muscle cells?
Muscles are very active.They need a lot of energy.
Why do you think that muscle cells have many mitochondria?
Any cell that is going to require large amounts of energy in a short period of time will tend to have a high number of Mitochondria. This is because mitochondria produces the energy currency of the cell, adenosine triphosphate, which produces energy.
Why do skeletal muscles need large amounts of ATP?
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is needed to make muscles move. It is created by cellular respiration which creates energy for cells to function. Then those properly energized and properly functioning cells make our muscles move when told to do so by our brain.
What cells use almost exclusively carbohydrates for energy?
The red blood cells in the body completely rely on glucose, which is a carbohydrate, for energy. Adipose tissue and muscles cells partially rely on glucose as well.
How does food give people energy?
Food is processed into forms that cells use to power the muscles.
Why does a muscle cell have more mitochondria in it than other type of cells?
Muscle cells are very active. Function of muscles cost lot of energy. So they need many mitochondria
What do cells need if they do not have immediate energy needs they convert glucose to?
If cells do not have immediate energy needs, they can convert glucose to glycogen for storage in the liver and muscles until it is needed. This stored glycogen can be broken down into glucose when the cells require energy.
Which of your cells would yo expect to have more mitochondria?
I would say muscle cells and sperm cells. The mitochondria is the power house of the cell producing the energy need for the cells. Our muscles use up a lot of energy doing everyday activities and sperm cells need the energy for the movement of its flagella.
Why is mitochondria found in muscle and brain cells than in skin and fat cells?
Muscles,brain are so active. They need energy greatly
What is the relation of ATP to muscles?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) carries energy to all living cells, including muscle cells. When you work out (or use your muscles), the muscle cells take up ATP and through a complicated biochemical process, they extract energy from it, and return it to other cells to replenish it. The amount of ATP is regulated by your body automatically, and is fairly constant.
