Energy is released in the Mitochondria through a process called respiration.Heart muscle requires a lot of energy to keep its muscles contracting and working all the time , so it's cells have a lot of mitochondria.
Mitochondria are also present in cells which carry out Active transport (like cells in the gut wall) as active transport also require energy from respiration.

Are mitochondria in plants different from mitochondria in animals?
Mitochondria can be found in both animal and plant cells and there is no difference between those from plants and those from animals.
Why are the mitochondria and chloroplast opposite?
Chloroplasts are glucose manufacturers. Mitochondria utilize those glucose
Why are your heart cells full of mitochondria?
Heart cells have a high demand for energy to sustain constant contraction. As a result, they have a larger number of mitochondria compared to other cell types. Mitochondria are responsible for generating the majority of cellular energy through aerobic respiration, producing the ATP needed for muscle contraction. The abundance of mitochondria in heart cells allows for efficient energy production and helps meet the energy requirements of the heart muscle.
Why muscle cell found in heart contain many more mitochondria than cells that store fat in adult humans?
Heart is very active than fat storing cells. It needs more energy
Why there more mitochondria in muscle cell than in most other cells in the body?
There are more mitochondria in muscle cell than in most other cells in the body because the muscles do more movement. This means that the muscles need more energy.
Which organ or part of the body will have more mitochondria?
The heart......
Does a heart have mitochondria?
Heart is very active.Its cells have many mitochondria.
Do heart cells have a lot of mitochondria or a little?
A great amount of mitochondria to supply the twitchy heart muscles with ATP. Heart muscles never stop beating and this requires a lot of energy continuously supplies by many mitochondria.
Which organelle would you expect to be the most highly concentrated in heart muscle cells?
Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.
Are mitochondria in plants different from mitochondria in animals?
Mitochondria can be found in both animal and plant cells and there is no difference between those from plants and those from animals.
Why are the mitochondria and chloroplast opposite?
Chloroplasts are glucose manufacturers. Mitochondria utilize those glucose
What muscle in your body has a lot of mitochondria?
the heart
What does the same job as the mitochondria?
Human Heart
Which cell from heart muscle would probably have an unusually high proportion?
its either lysosomes, mitochondria, mRNA, or Golgi bodies
Why are your heart cells full of mitochondria?
Heart cells have a high demand for energy to sustain constant contraction. As a result, they have a larger number of mitochondria compared to other cell types. Mitochondria are responsible for generating the majority of cellular energy through aerobic respiration, producing the ATP needed for muscle contraction. The abundance of mitochondria in heart cells allows for efficient energy production and helps meet the energy requirements of the heart muscle.
What kind of organelles are found in the heart muscle?
Mitochondria
What type of body cell would most likely have the greatest number of mitochondria?
You'll find more mitochondria in a animal cell because we produce energy through our mitochondria's. Plants make energy through there cell wall. We need more mitochondria's to make energy.
