Metabolic compartmentalization is a recurring theme inmacronutrient metabolism. These compartmentalized pathways areimportant in limiting so-called âfutile cyclesâ. Two of the mostimportant cellular compartments we discuss are the cytosolic (orcytoplasmic) compartment and the mitochondrial compartment.
Questions
(A) Discuss the implications of skeletal muscle cells exhibitinga higher mitochondrial density than a fibroblast.
(B) What can you infer about differences in mitochondrialdensity between cells or tissues?
