Human muscle cells need large amounts of ATP to function in the movement of the body,which is why ________ are especially abundant in muscle cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, making them abundant in muscle cells which require large amounts of energy for movement. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, smooth endoplasmic reticulum for lipid metabolism and lysosomes for cellular waste disposal, but none of these are directly involved in the production of ATP for energy in muscle cells.
