Fat cells do not tan darker than muscle cells because tanning is a result of melanin production in response to UV exposure, which is a process that occurs in the skin regardless of the presence of fat or muscle. The amount of melanin produced determines the level of skin darkening, not the type of cells underneath the skin.

Why muscle cell found in heart contain many more mitochondria than cells that store fat in adult humans?
Heart is very active than fat storing cells. It needs more energy
Why is mitochondria found in muscle and brain cells than in skin and fat cells?
Muscles,brain are so active. They need energy greatly
Do muscles contain fat?
Muscles do not contain fat; fat is stored in adipose tissue, which is separate from muscle tissue. However, muscle tissue can be surrounded by fat deposits, especially in individuals with higher body fat percentages.
What are the four sources of energy for muscle cells?
fat, calories, sugar, and energy or glucose
True or false An ounce of muscle takes up more space than an ounce of fat?
True. Muscle is more dense and takes up less space than fat. So, an ounce of muscle will appear smaller in volume compared to an ounce of fat.
Why are muscle cells smaller than fat cells?
Muscles cells are smaller than fat cells because they are more dense. These cells are more condensed than fat cells.
Do muscle cells contain more mitocondria than fat cells?
Yes they do, fat cells have very little function and therefore require much less energy than muscle cells.
How can you quickly convert fat cells into muscle cells?
Unfortunately, there is no way to convert fat cells into muscle cells. You need to decrease the size of fat cells and to increase the size (and perhaps quantity) of muscle cells.
Which type of cell would be more likely to have many mitochondria fat cell or muscle cell?
Mitochondria is the part of cells that generate energy by turning nutrients and oxygen into fuel for the body. Muscle cells need this ability more because they are constantly working; fat cells do not need it as much.
How do muscle cells use fat cells when they burn?
Muscle cells utilize fat cells for energy through a process called lipolysis, where stored fat is broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. These fatty acids are then used as a fuel source by muscle cells during activities like exercise. The process is regulated by hormones like adrenaline and insulin.
What synthesizes more material for newly formed muscle cells than for newly formed fat cells?
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) synthesizes more material for newly formed muscle cells than for newly formed fat cells. It promotes muscle growth and repair by increasing protein synthesis and supporting muscle cell development.
Does fat sit under the muscle or above the muscle?
above muscle; try poking your tummy while doing situps. the soft bit is fat, and underneath that, you will feel the hard muscle~. But if you have A LOT of fat, some of them will be deposited around your internal organs
Would you see more mitochondria in muscle cells or fat cells?
Of course in muscle cells.They are very active cells
Does muscle jiggle more than fat?
no fat is more jigglely than muscle
Why muscle cell found in heart contain many more mitochondria than cells that store fat in adult humans?
Heart is very active than fat storing cells. It needs more energy
Why is mitochondria found in muscle and brain cells than in skin and fat cells?
Muscles,brain are so active. They need energy greatly
What cells include fat cells bone cells nerve cells and muscle cells?
Specialized cells
