Question

Studies of muscle cells show that they have more mitochondria than skin cells. What conclusion can be drawn from this information? A muscle cells use more energy than skin cells.Skin cells utilize cellular respiration more efficiently. Muscle cells store more DNA than skin cells. Muscle cells use more energy than any other cells?

Answer 1

The conclusion that can be drawn from the information provided is: Muscle cells use more energy than skin cells.

This is supported by the fact that mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing energy (in the form of ATP) through cellular respiration. Since muscle cells require more energy for contraction and other functions compared to skin cells, they have a higher number of mitochondria to meet their energy demands. The other options presented do not logically follow from the information given.
