It is a true statment:
Correct answer: A. A lot of mitochondria are present in axons
- A. A lot of mitochondria are present in axons
- B. Less number of mitochondria are present in axons
- C. A lot of mitochondria are present in dendrites
- D. A lot of mitochondria are present in dendron
Explanation
The correct answer is that a lot of mitochondria are present in axons. Axons are responsible for the long-distance transmission of signals, which is an energy-intensive process. Therefore, they contain a high concentration of mitochondria to meet their energy demands. In contrast, dendrites, which are primarily involved in receiving signals, do not require as many mitochondria as axons. The option referring to 'dendron' is not standard terminology for describing neuronal structures, and it is important to note that dendrites still have fewer mitochondria compared to axons.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
