Some muscle cells have the ability to produce more mitochondria if they are involved in regular exercise. Which answer correctly describes a benefit of this ability?

ACellular respiration rates would increase in the individual’s cells.
BThe individual would not need as much food as before.
CMore fat molecules would be burned by the individual.
DThe individual’s mass would increase due to the excess mitochondria.

Verified Answer :

Cellular respiration rates would increase in the indivuals cells correctly describes a benefit of this abillity

The correct answer is option a. Cellular respiration rates would increase in the individual’s cells.

The mitochondria is the site of the cellular respiration in the cells. in case, the mitochondria are present in more number in the cells, the cells would have an enhanced rate of cellular respiration, and would provide more energy through rapid production of ATP molecules in the muscle cells. In the muscle cells, the regular exercise increases the need of cellular respiration, that is why, the muscle cell increases the number of mitochondria, if they are involved in regular exercise.
