What is an analogy for a mitochondria?
MitochondriaThe Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It generates energy to make things happen. PowerhouseIt is known as the "Powerhouse" of a cell. The mitochondria is the organelle of the cell that breaks down food molecules to make ATP.It basically gives the cell energy.One analogy I think of is mitochondria are to glucose and oxygen as solar panels are to sunlight. Both utilize the energy in other sources to produce a type of energy we can use.You can also represents mitochondria with an electrical supply of a company or fuel feeding a boiler.
What is number of mitochondria in cell?
The number of mitochondria in a cell can vary widely depending on the cell type and its energy demands. For instance, muscle cells may contain thousands of mitochondria, while less active cells, like skin cells, may have only a few hundred. Generally, the average cell contains anywhere from hundreds to thousands of mitochondria to meet its energy requirements.
Do mitochondria produce proteins?
Mitochondria do not produce proteins themselves, but they have their own genome and machinery to synthesize a few essential proteins. The majority of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are produced in the cell's cytoplasm and then imported into the mitochondria.
A cell with relatively few energy needs will probably have a relatively small number of mitochondria?
Yes, a cell with relatively few energy needs typically contains a smaller number of mitochondria, as these organelles are responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration. For example, cells in tissues that do not require a high energy output, such as certain types of skin or connective tissue cells, will have fewer mitochondria compared to highly active cells like muscle or nerve cells. The number of mitochondria in a cell is generally proportional to its energy demands.
Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?
There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.
What do you think would happen if a particular sperm only had a few mitochondria?
that sperm would be the man.
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.
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.
What are in an animal cell?
In an animal cell you would find things like: . a nucleus . mitochondria . small vacuoles and a few other things
What organelle found in muscle but very few in fat cell?
The mitochondria

What would happen to the supply of ATP in your cells if you ate to few carbohydrates. How would your cells be affected?
ATP is the "ready to use" energy in your cells produced by mitochondria. if low amounts of carbohydrates were ingested there would be less energy for the cell to use in its functions like protein synthesis and active transport.

What is the site for production of ATP in a cell?
The primary site for ATP production is the mitochondria. There are a few ATP produced in the cytosol as a result of the Kreb cycle, but those are very few compared to those produced in the mitochondria.
How many mitochondria are in each cell?
The number of mitochondria varies depending on the type of cell. They are most abundant in liver cells with about 1000 to 2000 mitochondria per cell.There are about 50 -100 per cell
Does yeast have a mitocondria?
Yes. A yeast cell is a eukaryotic cell and all eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles, that may include mitochondria. There are very few exceptions of eukaryotic cells not having mitochondria but yeast has them.
