Question

Would you expect muscle cells or skin cells to have more mitochondria in them and why? Choose the best response.

Muscle cells because your muscles require lots of energy to function and keep your body moving and the mitochondria is the part of the cell that creates energy for our bodies.


Muscle cells because they are bigger than the skin cells, so there is more space in them to hold the mitochondria.


Skin cells because they are on the surface of your body and you have more of them, so they would need to hold more mitochondria.


Skin cells because the function of the mitochondria is to provide elasticity to our bodies and our skin needs to be able to stretch.

Answer 1

Muscle cells because your muscles require lots of energy to function and keep your body moving and the mitochondria is the part of the cell that creates energy for our bodies.

It is the major part of our which helps in control and coordination (Including reflex action)and we need more energy for the mechanical function...

Answer 2

The correct statement for the cells that will have more mitochondria is, “Muscle cells because your muscles require lots of energy to function and keep your body moving and the mitochondria are the part of the cell that creates energy for our bodies.”

This is due to the energy level in them.
