It is very active. That is because mitochondria generate energy

What does the mitochondria do in a animal cell?

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing the energy molecules ATP through cellular respiration. They also play a role in regulating cell metabolism and signaling processes related to cell growth and death.


How many total parts do the animal and the plant cell have?

An animal cell has seven parts: 1.Cell Membrane 2.Cytoplasm 3.Mitochondria 4.Nucleus 5.Nuclear Membrane 6.Ribosomes


How many organs does an animal cell have?

An animal cell does not have organs. Instead, it contains specialized structures called organelles that perform specific functions within the cell. Some organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.


What does the mitochondria do in a plant and animal cell?

Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of both plant and animal cells. They are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is essential for many cellular processes, including growth, repair, and reproduction.


What do plant cells and animal cells have in common?

Plant and animal cells both are eukaryotic (multicellular). They both have a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum,ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. They contrast in many ways also. The plant cell has chloroplast, a central vacuole, and a cell wall, while the animal cell has lysosomes. The roots behave much like worms on a leash.

How many mitochondria are in a animal cell?

The number of mitochondria in an animal cell can vary depending on the cell type and its energy demands. On average, there can be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of mitochondria in a single animal cell.


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.

What is a mitochondria in a cell do and what is it there for?

mitochondria is present in both plant and animal cell.It is also called as the power house of the cell,it provides energy to the call so that they perform many functions of the cells.It forms ATP that provides energy.

How would an animal icrease the number of mitocondria?

Mitochondria are little loops of DNA in each cell of the body. They are self replicating, which means the cell itself does not create them. There is no code for them in the cell's nuclear DNA. Mitochondria are passed on directly from mother to child. Males cannot pass them on. Basically, they are microscopic hitch-hikers. The animal really doesn't have any control of how many they have.


Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?

You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.

What are 3 organelles that the plant and animal cells share?

The nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum are three organelles that plant and animal cells share. The nucleus contains genetic material and controls cell functions, the mitochondria produce energy through cellular respiration, and the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and transport within the cell.
