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.

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.
