Explanation:

Skin cells are specialized to be quickly shed and replaced, and do not have much mitochondria (which helps produce energy). Muscle cells, conversely, have lots of mitochondria because they need energy to produce movement.

A skin cell should proliferate very well and at the same time be protected against UV radiation, it would be important to have a function in which is cell is flexible, but also comparably hard.

A muscle cell needs a huge metabolism, a certain way to function, UV protection on the other side is really not its business.

They have a completely different function. For example, muscle cells are needed to contract and produce movement, whereas skin cells are primarily used as protection and to maintain homeostasis. It is vital that these cells are suited and designed to maximise their role. (eg muscle cells have many mitochondria to carry out the respiration needed to produce the energy to contract)
Hope this helps and let me know if you still don’t understand :)

How do metabolic pathways keep from reaching equilibrium?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The metabolic chemical reaction is reversible, and they too would attain equilibrium if they take place in a test tube separately. However, if a cell attains metabolic equilibrium it is considered as dead. Thus, a cell in the body is not in equilibrium.  

The spontaneous flow of substances within and outside of the cell prevents the metabolic pathways from attaining an equilibrium, and the cell persists to perform the work all through its life. This principle is demonstrated by the open hydroelectric system.
