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.

b. translation : mRNA, rRNA,

c. not used in protein synthesis: RNA primers

The pre mRNA the product after transcription from the DNA is processed eg by addition of poly A tail, splicing etc before undergoing the process of translation, the snRNA also help in performing this function. In translation, the mRNA is trnslated to proteiin in the ribosomes which is also made up of rRNA and proteins. RNA primers is not needed in any of these two, only i DNA replication as the DNA polymerase is uable to begin the synthesis of adding nucleotides to a DNA strand.
