Myocardium (cardiac muscle tissue) must rhythmically contract for a lifetime. This requires aconsiderable amount of energy production by the cells. You would expect to see a relatively high amount of which organelle in these cells? A - smooth endoplasmic reticulum B - mitochondria C - cytoskeleton D - lysosomes
Imagine that you are given an unknown cell sample. You visualize the sample under the microscope and you notice that it has a large number of mitochondria. Based on this observation, what can you say about the function of this cell? The cell might be storing a large amount of toxins. The cell might engulf and digest a large amount of material. The cell might require large amounts of energy. The cell might degrade large amounts of fatty acids.
Do animal and plant cells have all of the same organelles? Explain. Why would your heart cells have more mitochondria than your eye cells?
