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.

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

mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.

What kinds of animal cells might have a lot of mitochondria presents?

Mitochondria are the cells' power sources. They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. All living (plant or animal) cells have mitochondria. Muscle cells have many mitochondria (typically on the order of 1000 to 2000) [Mitochondria]. The need of mitochondria for muscle cells is to respond quickly to the large amount of need for producing energy. Read more questions from WISTEME through


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.

Is it true that stomata and mitochondria are two speacialized cells found only in plants?

Stomata are specialized cells found in plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, while mitochondria are organelles present in most eukaryotic cells, including plant cells. So, both stomata and mitochondria are not cells themselves, but rather structures found in plant cells.


What are two basic kinds of cells?

The two basic kinds of cells are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.


What are the two basic kinds of cells?

The two basic kinds of cells are prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic cells, a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and organelles, but prokaryotic don't have a nucleus and have ribosomes instead of organelles.


What kind of cells do sloths have?

Animal Cells. Sloths are mammals; their cells are not dissimilar to human cells. They have all the usual kinds, muscle cells, blood cells, nerve cells, fat cells, bone cells, liver cells, skin cells, and so forth.


Why does our body have different kinds of cells?

These have advanced and complete cells. These cells contains membrane bound nuclei and other cellular organelles and are called eukaryotic cells. These cells are found in unicellular and multicellular plants and animals and contain plasma membrane, DNA and cytoplasm with ribosome and cellular organelles such as mitochondria.
