What organelle does a muscle cell have a lot of?
mitochondria
Numerous mitochondria are found in each muscle cell to provide metabolic energy for muscle contraction.
What is the most abundant cell organelle in a muscle cell?
The organelle that is most abundant in cardiac muscle cells is the mitochondrion. The mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration and produce…
What do muscle cells have more of than animal cells?
The muscle cell would have more mitochondria than the other types of animals cells.
Which organelle is most likely to be found in high concentrations in muscle cells?
In keeping with our theme of form following function, it is important to point out that muscle cells have a very high concentration of mitochondria that produce ATP. Your muscle cells need a lot of energy to keep your body moving. When your cells don’t get enough oxygen, they do not make a lot of ATP.
Why do muscle cells have more mitochondria than other cells?
Muscle cells need energy to do mechanical work and respond quickly. Thus a higher number of mitochondria is present so that the cells requirement of energy to perform its specific function is fulfilled.
What makes muscle cells different from other cells?
Muscle fibers contain the major organelles present in most cells. The most striking difference between muscle cells and the majority of other cells is their multinucleated nature. Depending on its size, an individual fiber may contain hundreds of nuclei.
Why do muscle cells have more mitochondria than fat cells?
Muscle cells are assiciated with a large number of mitochondria as they require more ATP (energy) to function than other cells. They need this because of their frequent contraction and relaxation, which requires more ATP than average cells.
What has more mitochondria than other cells?
Your heart muscle cells – with about 5,000 mitochondria per cell. These cells need more energy, so they contain more mitochondria than any other organ in the body!
What organelle would you expect a muscle cell to have a lot of and why?
Muscle cells have numerous mitochondria, more than other types of cells, so that they can quickly and forcefully respond to the body’s constant need for various types of movement.
Do muscle cells and nerve cells have different organelles?
Muscle cells and nerve cells are two types of specialized cells in the animal body. Both muscle cells and nerve cells form tissues. Both muscle cells and nerve cells contain mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Both muscle cells and nerve cells work together to coordinate the functions of the body.
