An active cell will contain more mitochondria than an inactive cell. Mitochondria produce ATP, the main form of energy for cells.

Would you expect to find more mitochondria in liver cells which are very active or in teeth cells which are less active Why?

active cells or cells such as in brown fat(found in babies for extra warmth). mitochondira make energy available for the cell. so cells that need a lot of energy would have extra mirochondion.


What kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria a muscle cell. Or a skin cell?

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


How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?

Well, I suppose that since mitochondria are the the main production centers of ATP and Active Transport requires ATP, that these two are directly proportional. The more mitochondria a cell has, the more ATP it can make, and the more it can do Active Transport


Which has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?

I would say the muscle because they need a lot of ATPs (which mitochondria produces) in order to make the sacromere contract. Nerve cell would also need a lot of mitochondria because it needs to constantly send signals to all different directions using sodium-potassium pump which requires the use of ATPs. Nerve cells use glucose as a primary source of fuel, so would have less mitochondria....cells which use fatty acids- and therefore Beta oxidation which can only take place in the mitochondria, are less likely to have a lot of mitochondria


Which organelles are more numerous in active cells?

If a cell is very active, it would need to have a large number of Mitochondria.


The more active a cell is what are the structures it has more of?

A more active cell is likely to have more mitochondria to support energy production through aerobic respiration. It may also have a higher concentration of ribosomes for protein synthesis and endoplasmic reticulum for protein folding and processing. Additionally, an active cell may have an increased number of lysosomes for cellular waste processing and recycling.


Why does a muscle cell have more mitochondria in it than other types of cell?

Muscle cells are very active. Function of muscles cost lot of energy. So they need many mitochondria


A scientist investigates two types of cells located in different parts in the human body Cell A contains many more mitochondria than cell B What is the best conclusion to make from this observation?

A being quite more active than B. Cell A is part of an organ that does more work than Cell B. Cell B does less work than Cell A.


Where is the mitochondria in the plant cell?

The mitochondria organelles is located in the cytoplasm.


What kind of cell in the human body do you think would have more mitochondria cell or a skin cell?

They are in active cells. Some like muscle and cardiac cells


Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?

Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.


What does it mean when a cell contains more mitochondria than another cell?

It means it need more energy. So it is a very active cell. Examples are muscle cells,cardiac cells
