Why are mitochondria bigger in animal cells

Biology
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 years ago
5 0
When you think about the main purpose of mitochondira (to produce energy; an easy idea how to remember the function of mitochondria in our bodies is to imagine them as energy factories or power plants) it becomes easy to understand why.

Animals (including us) move a lot more compared to plants. For movement you need energy and energy needs to be produced in our bodies in order for us to be able to move. Therefore, we have mitochondria that are bigger. Not only that, animal cells usually also have more mitochondria. All of this is probably done to keep up with the increased energy demands that moving organisms have.

Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.

Which of the following plant cell structures could not be seen when using the 10X objective of the compound microscope?
OLga [1]
<span>Endoplasmic Reticulum

ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm </span>

<span>The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.<span>
