Mitochondria. Muscle cells need more energy over a short period of exercise than most other cells. The cell uses mitochondria to transform food energy into a energy source it can use for its reactions.

Which cell organelles would be present in greater numbers in muscle cells than cells from lungs?
Likely mitochondria as muscles cells require more energy to do work
What organelle provides the energy needed for muscle contraction?
The nuclei is one organelle that is important to the muscle system. This is because the nuclei helps the muscle system develop.
What are bone muscle and nerves and cartilage considered?
Organelles
Muscle tissues are made of specialized called?
organelles
What kind of organelles are found in the heart muscle?
Mitochondria
Muscle cells have a lot of what to give them energy?
Mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles specialized for synthesizing ATP.
Muscle tissues are made of specialized units called?
organelles
Which organelles contains the contractile elements found in skeletal muscle?
Myofibrils
What is the correlation between the energy requirements of cells and the number of mitochondria in cells?
Cells that are highly metabolically active have a high energy requirement for metabolic processes. Such cells include liver cells, muscle cells and sperm cells. These types of cell therefore have high numbers of mitochondria, the organelles that act as the site of aerobic respiration. This is because they need a plentiful supply of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy-carrier molecule) for metabolic processes.
Why do certain cells have a greater preponderance of certain organelles?
It depends on the function of the cell. For example: the muscle cells require a great deal of energy and so require many mitochondria per cell.
How can your muscles produce enough energy to function properly?
Well, your body always has some kind of energy. If you eat, then it can use the food for energy for quite a while. If that runs out because you haven't eaten for a long time, then your body will start using fat for energy. If that runs out, then it will start using muscle (which is very bad, since your heart is a muscle). If you are very low on immediately available energy, your body will react by making you feel tired, so that it has time to convert more energy while your body sleeps.
What is the organelles found abundantly in the flight muscle cells in insects and birds?
mitochondria
