Explanation:
It is useful for organisms to have an uneven distribution of mitochondria among their cell because different cells perform different functions.
- The mitochondria is an organelle in the cell that produces energy.
- It is known as the powerhouse of the cell and the body.
Mitochondria is found in uneven concentrations in the body at different parts.
From the diagram attached, heart has a higher distribution of mitochondria compared to the cells of the liver and the pituitary gland.
The heart demands more energy because it pumps blood throughout the body. This is a tasking process as the heart beats severally within a minute.
Mitochondria is distributed in the body based on the energy demands by body organs. This helps to ration energy into the parts of the body where they are more needed compared to the other parts.
Cells with a higher metabolic activities have higher amount of mitochondria to meet their energy demands compared to cells with lower metabolic activities.
