Best Answer

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.
