It depends on the type of skeletal muscle. Slow and fast oxidative fibers (type I and type IIa) may have many mitochondria. Fast glycolytic fibers (type IIx/IIb) have very few mitochondria. This is because in fast glycolytic fibers (type IIx/IIb) ATP can be produced outside of the mitochondrion in the cytosol of the cell due to high concentrations of glycolytic enzymes present in these fibers. In contrast, in oxidative fibers ATP is produced mostly within the mitochondrion, so more mitochondria are needed to to produce large amounts of ATP.
Also, the number of mitochondria in these cells can increase with adaptations to exercise conditioning.
What else can I help you with?
Normal skeletal muscle has what percent mitochondria?
12 percent of the volume of skeletal muscle.
Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.
What organelle is found in large numbers in a skeletal muscle cell?
mitochondia is greater in number in skeletal muscle cells.
Do cardiac muscle cells contain more mitochondria than skeletal muscle cells?
Both are very active.But skeletal muscles have more.
Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?
no
Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
Why do you think skeletal muscle contains more mitochondria than other cells?
microbioglogy
Muscle is involuntary and has few mitochondria?
This statement is incorrect. Muscle tissue can be either voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle). Additionally, muscle cells (myocytes) have numerous mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contractions.
What is the innermost part of the muscle?
There are two types of muscle in the body. The Cardiac Muscle and the Skeletal Muscle. The skeletal muscle is made up of intrafusal and extrafusal fibers. The Muscle Belly is made up entirely of extrafusal fibers (even in the deepest parts). The intrafusal fibers are located throughout the muscle. The cardiac muscle is distinct from skeletal muscle, one of the main differences is the amount of mitochondria it has is increased, and so technically at the deepest part of cardiac muscle is mitochondria (but there are other components as well).
Do skeletal muscle cells have glycosomes?
No, skeletal muscle cells do not have glycosomes. Glycosomes are specialized organelles found in certain types of cells, particularly in protists and some parasites, where they are involved in glycolysis. Skeletal muscle cells primarily rely on mitochondria for energy production.
What type of muscle is rich in ATP?
Skeletal muscle is rich in ATP as it is the primary energy source for muscle contraction and movement. Skeletal muscle has high energy demands and relies on ATP for fuel during exercise and physical activity.
What are found in skeletal muscles?
Nuclei - Because of its development. Mitochondria - ATP is needed to make the muscle move.
