Question

1. Muscle cells need large amounts of ATP for contraction. Based on this requirement, you would expect that muscle cells would have an increased amount of what type of organelle (per unit volume) for cellular respiration?

   		Mitochondria
   		Chloroplasts
   		Golgi apparatus
   		Smooth ER
   		Lysosomes

Answer 1

Solution

Mitochondria is the answer because

It is a organelle that peoduces ATP for cellular activity specially contraction in muscle cells.

By using citric acid cycle and electron transport chain more ATP are formed to start activity of contraction of muscle.

Cellular respiration is occure inside mitochondria.

Chloroplast is absent in muscle cells.

Golgi are just sort and transport proteins.

SER are used to synthesize fats and lipids and detoxify.

Lysosomes used to destruct and digest some unwanted things of cell.
