Best Answer

The number of mitochondria indicates the energy need of a particular cell; meaning, if a cell has a large number of mitonchoria, that cell (for example a muscle cell) must have a high demand for energy.

Muscle cells, particularly skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, have very large numbers of mitochondria. This is because they are very active cells that require a great deal of ATP to perform their function.

The conclusion is that these Cells have a larger, indeed a stronger, need for extra Metabolic Energy that is derived from Atp; and this Atp is biochemically derived and produced [manufactured] within the cytoplasmic Mitochondrions.

Muscle cell. A cell that does more work, Mitochondria produce ATP needed for work.

How many mitochondria does a skin cell have?

Cells that require the most energy contain the most energy generating mitochondria. The cells of the brain, the skeletal muscle and heart muscle, and the eye contain the highest number of mitochondria (as many as 10,000 per cell) while the skin cells, which do not require much energy, contain only a few hundred of them.

No. Other cells such as plant cells contain mitochondria. However, prokaryotic cells such as bacteria do not contain mitochondria and respiration instead occurs on infolds in the plasma membrane called mesosomes.
