Why would mitochondria in heart muscle cells have more cristae than mitochondria in skin cells?

Biology
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The structure of mitochondria contains the foldings in the inner side called "cristae" which increase the surface area of the mitochondria. The cristae are important to mitochondria as well as cell as cristae embody the ATP synthase enzymes which help in the formation of the ATP molecules.

Heart cells require more energy to pump the blood from the heart to the body so it needs a more mitochondrial number in the cells with more infoldings to synthesize more ATP.

HELP ME PLEASE I BEG YOU I RELLY NEED IT URGENT !!!! 15 points!

The easiest example here is a computer/laptop... e.g. when the CD-ROM is spinning when you are perhaps playing a movie, the kinetic energy causes friction, which results in heat.  All computers need a fan to prevent them over-heating for this very reason.  Therefore heat is lost and energy is wasted.

Another example is a lightbulb.  When a light is switched on and left for a long time, the current flowing through the filament (the thin bit of wire in the bulb) causes heating (due to electron-ion collisions but you may not need to know that) so energy is wasted as thermal energy instead of light energy.

These are just a few examples but other ones you could use are tv screens, kettles, toasters, etc :)
