why would muscle tissue cells require more mitochondria than fat cells?

Answer 1

Muscle is more active metabolically (requires almost twice as many calories for maintenance than adipose tissue)... more mitochondria.

Answer 2

A mitochondrion's main purpose is to create useable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, ATP. Muscle cells, with their constant contraction and relaxation, use ATP at a higher rate than any other cells in the body, so they require more mitochondria. Fat cells are inert, so have little use for them.

I can help with some. 1. plant cells have a cell wall - animal cells dont 2. the tomato is a "fruit" designed only to hold the seeds - doesnt need to make energy - no chloroplasts required 3. mitochondira is required to produce energy - mammals make their own heat - more energy required. lizards are the same temp as their environment 4. same reason as number 3, mito. make energy - muscles need more energy to be active - fat isnt active 5. not sure - sorry.

Answer 4

muscles for their activity need to hydrolyze ATP to ADP if it continues without any replacement the ATP Concentration falls and the muscle fail to do...
to provide ATP from ADP two ways are on the way:the first one and simplest one is fermentation or Glycolysis the second and predominant in Muscle is generation of ATP from Mitochondria thats it the muscle cells needs more ATP than Adipose(fat) tissue!

Answer 5

Mitochondria are energy producing units. Since Muscle utilzes more energy then adipose it requires a higher number of ATP producing mitocondria

Answer 6

Cuase fat cells don't do anything they sit there and take up room the body uses them for energy, the only time the body uses muscle cells for food is extreme famine.

Answer 7

Because muscle cells use more energy for contraction and they also use a lot of anaerobic repiration. Fat cells dont do this stuff,
