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.

What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
What type of cell would you find lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells often contain many mitochondria because muscle cells often require a lot of energy, and since mitochondria create ATP which is the form of energy used by our bodies, it is essential to have many of them in cells that constantly require more energy than, as an example, skin cells.
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.
Which organelle turns food into the type of energy that cells can use?
Mitochondria is the organelle that turns food into energy.
What type of muscle would have the most mitochondria?
Well this is a pretty simply question for a very complex topic. Mitochondria can vary within a cell type depending on environmental and life history variables. Some cell types have high mitochondria density, but are quite small (sperm) and some have lower mitochondrial density but are much larger (muscle cells). Other cells, like intestinal wall lining for example, also contain a lot of mitochondria.
What type of cell does mitochondria produces energy from nutrients from?
All complex cells contain mitochondria.
What type of cell contains mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis are the two types of cells that contain choloplasts.
What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
Why do mitochondria and chloraplasts contain DNA?
because all cells in a living organism contain the DNA no matter what type of cell it is.
What type of cell would you find lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells often contain many mitochondria because muscle cells often require a lot of energy, and since mitochondria create ATP which is the form of energy used by our bodies, it is essential to have many of them in cells that constantly require more energy than, as an example, skin cells.
What type of cells are mitochondria in?
Mitochondria are in eukariyotes.They are not in prokariyotes.
What type of cell has a mitochondria?
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (singular mitochondrion).
Is mitochondria found in plant cells or both?
They are found in both type of cells. Mitochondria are essential for cellular respiration
What type of cells are found in the mitochondria found in?
plants and animal cells
What type of cells do the mitochondria take place in?
Mitochondria is in both animal cells, and plant cells. The mitochondria is the part of the cell that is like the small power house in the animal/plant cell.
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 type of cell is a mitochondria in?
Mitochondrias are in animal and plant cells.
