What kind of organisms that have mitochondria in their cells?

Eukaryotic organisms, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have mitochondria in their cells. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration.


Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells do?

Mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration, during which the cell gets 36 ATP for every glucose molecule broken down. Since muscle cells are very active and require a lot of energy, they have more mitochondria than other kinds of cells.


What is an analogy for mitochondrial DNA?

Mitochondria supply energy to the cell through their production of ATP, adenosine triphosphate. ATP releases energy when it forms ADP, adenosine diphosphate. There are more mitochondria in muscle cells than in skin cells because the muscle cells need more energy. Mitochondria are like the battery pack or dry cellsof the living cells.Mitochondria can also be the electrical supply of a company or fuel feeding a boiler.

Why mitochonria have their own DNA?

Mitochondria is suspected to have been a unicellular organism that invaded cells. All cells have DNA. The mitochondria then stayed in the cells which explains why there are mitochondria in cells now.
