Which organelle has many hair like structures used for movement?

The organelle that has many hair-like structures used for movement is the flagellum. It is a long, whip-like appendage that helps cells like sperm cells to swim.


Do all cells move by using flagellum?

No, many are what we would call fixed. If they are bacteria, many do not move except if the place they are in (a tissue for example) would slide or move in some way.

What type of cells contain lots of mitochondria?

Active cells such as muscle and liver cells have more mitochondria than others because they use up a lot more energy to carry out their roles and stay alive. Thus needing the extra mitochondria to produce more energy.

What kind of cells might have a high number of mitochondria?

Cells with a high energy demand, such as muscle cells and liver cells, typically have a high number of mitochondria. Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, so cells that require a lot of energy to function efficiently will have more mitochondria.


In which kinds of human cells would you expect to find the most mitochondria?

Mitochondria is a cite in the cytoplasm also known as power house of the cell because of their energy generating ability in the cell. In humans there are many life activities that goes on in the body in order to make life possible. The prominent activity is that needs large amount of energy is reproduction. This occurs in the tissues, hence mitochondria are mostly found in muscle tissues for this life activity.
