Energy is generated in your body in mitochondria. There is the process of biological oxidation taking place. Muscles may need to generate lot of energy. For this the muscle fibers are loaded with numerous mitochondria.

Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
What typed of cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Muscle cells and heart cells for two.
Where are large numbers of mitochondria found in?
two examples are sperm cells and muscle cells Muscle cells have thousands of mitochondria.
What are two important ways that muscle cells differ from cheek cells?
It has more mitochondria.
Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells have?
mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.
What cells are expected to have more mitochondria?
the more active the cell is, the mitochondria it has. so therefore muscle cells have alot of mitochondria as compared to fat storing cells
What organelle is found in large numbers in a skeletal muscle cell?
mitochondia is greater in number in skeletal muscle cells.
Which of your cells would you expect to have more mitochondriz your muscle cells or your bone cells?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells.Metabolically very active cells. Muscle cells,heart cells have lot of mitochondria
Do muscle cells have mitochondria?
yes
What would be more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells?
Mitochondria are more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells. Mitochondria give the muscle cells energy. Skin cells do not need as much energy to survive.
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
