Why are mitochondria bigger in animal cells
Greeley [361]
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.

Using context clues, what does “ferrying its newly-gained energy with it “ mean when talking about convection?
finlep [7]

The term "ferrying its newly-gained energy with it" means that the fluid carries the energy it acquired as it rises during convection.

Convection is a mode of heat transfer in which energy is transferred by the bulk movement of particles from one point to another. During convection, a fluid is heated and its particles acquire energy, These energetic particles now move upwards and are replaced by less dense fluid at a lower energy.

The term ferrying its newly-gained energy with it, implies that the heated particles carry the energy they have gained with them as they rise during convection.
