Yes, some cells can have only one mitochondrion, though this is relatively uncommon. For instance, certain unicellular organisms, like some types of yeasts or bacteria, may contain a single mitochondrion, while specialized cells in multicellular organisms may also exhibit a very low number of mitochondria. However, most eukaryotic cells typically contain multiple mitochondria to meet their energy demands.

What would happen if all the mitochondria only went in one cell during mitosis?

If all the mitochondria went into one cell during mitosis, the other cell would not receive any mitochondria and would likely have insufficient energy production. This could result in impaired cell function and potentially cell death. Mitochondria are essential for energy production through ATP synthesis, and an unequal distribution could disrupt normal cellular processes.


How do you destroy the mitochondria in the cell?

The only way to kill the mitochondria in the cell is.... die. Life's processes are fueled by the energy that the mitochondria produce with the molecules that are taken in whether be plant or animal. Animal cells may contain more than one mitochondria for each cell. There can be as many as 20 individual mitochondria housed in a single cell.


Why does mitochondrial DNA get copied more often than cellular DNA?

Because for every cell there are many mitochondria within it so for the daughter cell to have the same amount of mitochondria all their DNA must be copied. but there is only one set of DNA within the nucleus of the cell for the cell itself so that only needs to be copied once. if that makes any sense?


Does one cell that doesn't have mitochondria do less work than a cell that does have mitochondria?

Yes.becos a lot of mitochondria is needed for production of energy for d cell


What is one of the energy sources of the cell?

Mitochondria


Which one of these organelles in the powerhouse of the cell?

The mitochondria is the cell's powerhouse.


When do the mitochondria replicate in the cell cycle?

In most eukaryotes mitochondria replicate and fuse all the time; they don't have to replicate during the cell cycle. In cells that have only one mitochondrion (like kinetoplastids) mitochondria follow the same replication process as the cells (G1, S, G2 and M phases).


What does the mitochondria and the chloroplast both do for the cell?

Respiration is conducted by mitochondria.Photosynthesis is conducted by chloroplast.


What Cells can only have one of certain organelles like the nucleus which organelle can a cell have many of the same kind?

Cells can only have one nucleus, which serves as the control center of the cell. In contrast, cells can have many mitochondria, which are the organelles responsible for energy production. The number of mitochondria can vary depending on the cell's energy demands, with muscle cells typically having a higher number to support their activity.


Where do the second and third phase of cell respiration occur?

2nd one in cristae of mitochondria.3rd one in inner membrane of mitochondria.


Do any cells have both flagella and cilia?

No they are not in same cell. One type is found in one cell.


What type of cell has more than one mitochondria?

Most eukaryotic cells have more than one mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and generate energy through ATP production, so cells with high energy demands like muscle cells or liver cells often have numerous mitochondria.
