The muscle cells are loaded with mitochondria to allow large amounts of ATP production while the macrophages have abundant lysosomes to digest the debris and dead organisms like bacteria.

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of a cell. This is because most of the ATP production used by various systems in their operation is produced by mitochondria. A chemical called NADH is produced in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle. The enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial membrane use this chemical to produce Adenosine Triphosphate, generally known as ATP.

Macrophages are phagocytic white blood cells involved in engulfing and killing pathogens. They are involved in the innate immune response of the body. Lysosomes have specialized enzymes that can kill these pathogens.

Muscle cells need to contract or expand for which they require energy. Thus, they have abundant mitochondria. Whereas, the macrophages have abundant lysosomes to help them kill disease-causing pathogens like a virus or bacteria.

To know more about ATP production in mitochondria, refer to the following link:

what role does fact finding play in the arbitration and mediation process between labor and management
maks197457 [2]

Mediation is the process of two conflicting groups coming together to find a middle term. It is at times the negotiation with the difference and it is normally supervised by a person in authority who oversees and leads the processes.  If the mediation fails them the conflict is placed under arbitration.  The process of arbitration is fully directed by an arbitrator who has same powers as the judge but is limited to the conflict that is being solved. The arbitrator is there to impose a final decision or come up with the resolution to the conflict in the fairest way. He should follow justice after listening to both conflicting side. The arbitrator is not there to find the middle term to be agreed by the two sides.

How do ATP and NAPH connect light dependent and light independent reactions in photosynthesis​
Finger [1]

Answer:

In plants photosynthesis occurs in two steps light-dependent stage and light-independent stage.

ATP is energy carrier and NADPH is electron carrier and both are produced during the first step from the sunlight as they carry the energy and electron to the next step which is light-independent step. In this step both ATP and NADPH are used in the formation of sugars from carbohydrates.

Therefore, these molecules connect the light-dependent and light- independent reactions of photosynthesis.

Answers questions . why are estuaries, such as the pamlico estuary, so important? . how would you be able to determine from whe
GaryK [48]
Estuaries, often reffered to as the nurseries of the sea provide feedind habitats for many aquatic animals and plants. Fish and shellfish commonly eaten in the U.S such as oyesters and Salmon complete almost half of their lifecycles in estuaries. Due to its shallow water,Pamlico estuary especially provides opportunities such as Fishing, crabbing and watersports as well.
We can be able to determine this concept by basing our facts on two concepts. Nutrient Influx, upon reaching the estuarian ecosystem, the nutrients in the presence of sunlight undergoes photosynthesis and produce phytoplanktons. Basically, where there is sunlight, we can assume there is a nutrient influx. Presence of Phytoplanktons will in turn help attract animals such as fish. Also, another contribution of nutrient influx is manure produced by the animals

Sewage treatment plans and fertilizer runoff. Auto emissions of nitrogen, fertilizers applied on golf courses and home gardens can contribute. Some plankton species may produce toxins that might cause these outbreaks
