Want this question answered?
Because they are very active. They need a lot of energy.
Mitochondria are the power houses. Active cells have many
Yes, all cells need mitochondria, even if only a few. Tissues are made of cells, and muscles and organs are made of tissues. Besides, how would we move if we did not have energy in our muscles?
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
Sperm cells have no mitochondria.
Because they are very active. They need a lot of energy.
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.
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.
Mitochondria are referred to as the "power houses" of cells. Without them, cells would not have the energy to function and live.
Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.

Yes, all cells need mitochondria, even if only a few. Tissues are made of cells, and muscles and organs are made of tissues. Besides, how would we move if we did not have energy in our muscles?
the more active the cell is, the mitochondria it has. so therefore muscle cells have alot of mitochondria as compared to fat storing cells
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
Muscles cells, of course!
