Why does a human muscle cell have more than mitochondria than a plant cell?

I'm no Biology major or PhD, though I do take honors bio as a course. I'm going with the fact that human muscle cells are in more motion, lifting things, and constantly burning energy. Plants move within themselves and grow, but I don't they don't burn anywhere near the kind of calories the average human muscle cell would.

Muscle Cells
Is a mitochondria a plant or human cell?
A mitochondria is actually a organelle located in both plant and human cells. It is known as the 'powerhouse' pf the cell because it produces energy in the form of ATP.
