Mitosciences Lab Report
Im a junior scientist for MitoSciences. I have been given the task of organizing and analyzing the results from a prior experiment my supervisor Ms. Ehnar Jiy conducted. In this lab, i wanted to know if more active cells in our bodies require more energy. I started of by taking five samples of three different types of cell (skin cell, muscle cell and lung cell) and counted the mitochondria present in each by viewing the cells under a powerful optical microscope. According to my data, i found out that my hypothesis was accurate, i predicted that more active cells in our bodies require more energy then there will be a noticeable increase in the number of mitochondria present in these types of cell. Therefore, Some cells have more mitochondria

Followed by lung tissue with the average of 350.6. The lungs main function is to help oxygen from the air we breathe enter the red cells in the blood. Red blood cells then carry oxygen around the body to be used in the cells found in our body. The lungs also help the body to get rid of CO2 gas when we breathe
out. Therefore, the lung tissue doesn't need as much energy as the muscle cell since our lungs don't move as much. Further more, Skin cell has the least number of mitochondria. Protection is a major function. Skin cell helps keep our bodies at just the right temperature. it also allows us to have the sense of touch.
Further more, our skin has a big job protecting your body, it's made to be tough and stretchy. There's a lot more to this job than it might seem. There are three main layers of the skin; The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin (the part of skin you see), it provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. Dermis is the second layer of skin, It's much thicker and does a lot for your body. Subcutaneous fat is the bottom
