They provide energy that is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) for all the vital processes taking place within the liver.For example formation of urea, converting excess glucose into glycogen.

Which organelle do you think liver cells have a lot of?
Mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum
What organelles found in liver cells are affected by drug abuse?
Mitochondria, as the liver needs to have more energy as it has to produce proteins and lipids at rapid rates.
DO prokaryotic cells have mitochondria?
No.. only eukaryotic cells have mitochondria...
Is a mitochondria an organ?
Mitochondria is not an organ it is an organelle that can be found in organ, such as the liver.
What Cells do not have have Nuclei or Mitochondria?
Red blood cells do not have nuclei or mitochondria.
Which organelle do you think liver cells have a lot of?
Mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum
What would not be found in one of your liver cells a. mitochondria b.ER c.peroxisomes d. a central vacuole e. ribosomes?
Mitochondria.
Why do liver and muscle cells have more mitochondria than other types of cells?
Because muscles cells have to do more energetic work than other cells.
Why do liver cells contain so many mitochondria?
Liver cells are the site of the most catabolic and anabolic reactions, with glycolysis, glycogenesis, gluconeogenesis occuring throughout the day. The majority of these processes are carried out by enzymes of the mitochondria and a higher number means larger reaction rate. So, the liver cells have many mitochondria to cope up with the reaction burden and also to provide energy for anabolic processes.
What organelles found in liver cells are affected by drug abuse?
Mitochondria, as the liver needs to have more energy as it has to produce proteins and lipids at rapid rates.
What organelle are there great amounts in cells that use a lot of energy?
In eukaryotic cells that are very metabolically active (such as liver or muscle cells) you will find a lot of mitochondria.These will produce ATP via the electron transfer chain to be used as cellular energy.
What type of cells contain lots of mitochondria?
Active cells such as muscle and liver cells have more mitochondria than others because they use up a lot more energy to carry out their roles and stay alive. Thus needing the extra mitochondria to produce more energy.
Would you find more mitochondria in the muscle cell or the liver cell of an athlete?
Muscle cells because mitochondria is a cells energy source and in order for an athlete to play their sport or do their activities, they need a lot of energy.
Why do some cells have more mitochodria?
Cells such as liver cells, sperm cells and muscle cells have more mitochondria. This is because they are more metabolically active and need a plentiful supply of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for metabolic processes. For example, many chemical processes occur in liver cells and sperm cells are known for movement.
Which type of cells would have more mitochondria and why?
Mitochondria is a procaryotic remnant in our cells with the purpose of creating energy needed by cells to perform their function. Some sells need more energy that others and therefore tend to have more mitochondria. Cells that need lot of energy (ATP) has more mitochondria than cells that require less.
What organelle would be found in increased quantities in the liver cells of a person who abuses alcohol and other drugs on a regular basis?
mitochondria
DO prokaryotic cells have mitochondria?
No.. only eukaryotic cells have mitochondria...
