Answer:

Slow twitch fibers have more mitochondria because they aerobic oxidation basically oxidative phosphorylation to resist muscle fatigue by generation of ATP molecules.

Slow twitch fibers are also called red muscle fibers that contain large amount of mitochondria and Myoglobin pigment which gives them red coloration.

     Slow twitch  fibers uses oxygen to carry out oxidative phosphorylation of aerobic respiration to generate energy rich compound called adenosine tri phosphate or ATP.Thus the slow twitch muscle fibers can resist muscle fatigue.

      That"s why slow twitch muscle contain more mitochondria

What were the results of Fleming's
astra-53 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Results: After finding that a forgotten plaque, which was initially filled with Staphylococcus, had been contaminated by a fungus, Flemming noticed that the areas surrounding the fungus were free of Staphylococcus. His results were that the bacteria was destroyed by the fungus, which was identified as a <em>Penicillium</em>. He said that (quote)<em> "...at a considerable distance around the fungus, the growth of  Staphylococcus colonies were suffering  lysis ..." </em>
  • His observations were qualitative, as he could just observe and describe what he was happening, but he did not perform any count quantities. In his descriptions, he said (quote) "...<em>What had previously been a  well-formed colony, it was now  a faint shadow of its former form...". </em>He described the situation as a previously well-formed colony, to a shadow of its former form. He characterized the colony but did not count the surviving or dead cells.
