Answer:
How it can cause muscle weakness
Explanation:
Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to the mitochondria—small, energy-producing structures that serve as the cells' "power plants." Nerve cells in the brain and muscles require a great deal of energy and thus appear to be particularly damaged when mitochondrial dysfunction
The energy used by cells in their internal processes is called ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.
Some info / facts about ATP:
- ATP is an organic chemical.
- ATP is used by cells, but it can also be produced in living organisms.
- ATP is a nucleotide (an organic molecule that builds up DNA or RNA).

RNA has a ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA neucleiotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.
Answer:
B because the diffusion gradient is steeper there
Explanation:
Oxygen moves in the cell through the process of diffusion which means it moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration. More the difference in concentration, concentration gradient will be more steeper and diffusion will take faster.
So in this case cell, B cell consumes oxygen at a faster rate because it is more metabolically active therefore as oxygen is consumed at a faster rate the concentration difference in B cell becomes high and the diffusion gradient becomes steeper so oxygen will diffuse more quickly in cell B.
