Which type of cell is most likely to have the most mitochondria? muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner nondividing cells
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells and serve as a site for the aerobic stage of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is complete oxidation of nutrients in the presence of oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules. Therefore, the cells that require more ATP molecules as an energy source would most likely have a greater number of mitochondria.

Muscle cells are responsible for body movement. Muscle cells in the legs of a runner would require a constant supply of ATP during running since muscle contraction requires ATP. To sustain the continuous muscle contraction during the marathon, the muscle cells in the legs of the runner would have most number of mitochondria.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Dr. Stott's belief about that the 9-year-olds will advance in knowledge based on instructions is based on the theory of cognitive development, proposed by Lev Vygotsky.

Explanation:

Theory of cognitive development -also called the socio-cultural theory of cognition- was put forward by the Russian-Jewish psychologist Lev Vygotsky, in which he expresses the influence of the socio-cultural environment on the learning process.

<u>For Vygotsky, children possess innate basic skills, such as attention, sensation, memory and perception, which develop over time</u>.

The process of cognitive development implies that the development of each child's basic skills requires the guidance of an adult, since -although there are skills that he does not understand or has not developed- he can learn them with the appropriate guidance and instructions.
