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. B. Skin cells utilize cellular respiration more efficiently. C. Muscle cells store more DNA than skin cells. D. Muscle cells use more energy than any other cells.

Answer 1

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

This is because mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration. Since muscle cells require more energy for contraction and movement, they are equipped with a higher number of mitochondria compared to skin cells, which have lower energy demands.
