Answer:
The best explanation regarding the observation of more mitochondria in cell A than in cell B is that cell B does less work than Cell A.
Explanation:
Mitochondria are the organelles in charge of energy production in the cell. Tissues with high energy demand, such as striated muscle, have cells with a large amount of mitochondria, to satisfy this requirement.
According to the observation, if the cell B has less work than the A cell, its energetic demand is lower and the consequence is a smaller quantity of mitochondria in its cytoplasm.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> A and B. The fact that the A cell has more mitochondria is not related to </em><em><u>protein synthesis</u></em><em> or having </em><em><u>larger vacuoles</u></em><em>.
</em>
<em> D. </em><u><em>Cell B does not produce more energy </em></u><em>than Cell B because it has fewer mitochondria. </em>
