Muscle
cells tend to have more mitochondria than other body cells, explain why this is
so?
2.
Why
is the cell membrane essential to cells functioning, and why is it important
that it is selectively permeable.
3.
Most
animals are consumers that are capable of locomotion, while most plants are
stationary producers, explain how the structure of the cells of these organisms
contributes to their functions.
