Question

this dormouse and other mammals that hibernate during cold winters have brown adipose tissue that allows them to produce heat efficiently. which of these organelles would you expect to find in abundance within the cells of brown adipose tissue?

o mitochondria
o lysosomes
o rough er
o golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Since brown adipose tissue is involved in heat production, mitochondria would be abundant as heat production requires energy. Lysosomes are for digestion, rough ER is for protein synthesis and modification, and Golgi apparatus is for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.

Answer:

A. Mitochondria
