Mitochondria are an energy supply for cells. For example, human and human fat cells only have a small amount of mitochondria as they do not move or do much. On the other hand, sperm cells have many mitochondria as they have to transport themselves through the vagina to the awaiting egg cell.

Why do certain cells have more Mitochondria than others?
Some cells need more energy (and therefore more ATP). ATP is synthesizd in mitochondriacardiac muscle cells need to work continuously, so they have a large number of mitochondria.Source; Yahoo.com
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
Is mitochondria found in both plant and animal cells?
Nearly all eukaryotic cells, including plants, contain Mitoochondria.
Why do liver and muscle cells have more mitochondria than other types of cells?
Because muscles cells have to do more energetic work than other cells.
Do animal cells have mitochondria and chloroplast?
They need energy to live.Mitochondria give this energy.
Do all cells need mitochondria?
Prokariyotes lack the mitochondria. It is needed for aerobic respiration
Would you find a mitochondria in a dog?
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?
Do palnt cells have mitochondria?
Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.
What kinds of animal cells might have a lot of mitochondria presents?
Mitochondria are the cells' power sources. They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. All living (plant or animal) cells have mitochondria. Muscle cells have many mitochondria (typically on the order of 1000 to 2000) [Mitochondria]. The need of mitochondria for muscle cells is to respond quickly to the large amount of need for producing energy. Read more questions from WISTEME through

Is the mitochondria in all cells?
no
All cells have?
a mitochondria
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
Why mitochonria have their own DNA?
Mitochondria is suspected to have been a unicellular organism that invaded cells. All cells have DNA. The mitochondria then stayed in the cells which explains why there are mitochondria in cells now.
Does a mitochondria have a plant cell animal cells or both?
Yes. All eukaryotic cells have mitochondria.
What is the energy that your cells need comes from?
mitochondria
Do plant cells need a mitochondria?
yes, plant cells need mitochondrias too
