Muscle cells often contain many mitochondria because muscle cells often require a lot of energy, and since mitochondria create ATP which is the form of energy used by our bodies, it is essential to have many of them in cells that constantly require more energy than, as an example, skin cells.

What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
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 organelle gives the cell power?
Mitochondria. Put that in a search engine you will get lots of explanation.
How many mitochondria does a plant root hair cell have?
plant cells can make there own food because they have chloroplasts, but also have mitochondria, while animal cells only have mitochondria which doesn't make it's own food, because of the chloroplasts plants cells don't need as much mitochondria. Mitochondria produces energy. Animal cells have more mitochondria because they need more energy. Plants don't move, so they don't need a lot of energy.
Does a root hair cell contain mitochondria?
Root hair cells will have mitochondria to provide the cell with ATP for active transport of minerals.. active transport of these minerals is needed as it can be against the concentration gradient.
What type of specialized cell would have lots of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have lots of mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as a "powerhouse" of the cell. In the inner membrane matrix of the mitochondria there are ATP synthases that generate ATP energy.
What is the adaptations of a sperm cell?
Lots of Mitochondria to respire A tail to swim

Why do muscles contain many mioochondria?
Muscles need ATP to contract. Mitochondria produce most of the ATP in the cell, so there are lots of mitochondria in muscle.
Does epithelium cell have mitochondria?
So that lots of ATP can be produced, which can then release energy for active transport. Remember that epithelial cell are cells that release substances and can take substances in (exocytosis and endocytosis). This requires energy, so there are therefore lots of mitochondria.
What is contained in a single cell?
In a eukaryotic cell, LOTS of organelles. Organelles are like organs of a cell that include the cytoplasm, mitochondria and lysosomes and more! And I think it has DNA, not sure though.
What animals contain a lot of mitochondria?
every animal has mitochondria in it. The one with the most would probably be an animal that eats lots of grass and needs lots of energy like tigers zebras or gazelles
Why are mitochondria closely packed around the contracile muscle?
Mitochondria are the cell's power plant, producing ATP. Since muscles require a lot of ATP for contracting, lots of mitochondria are present in muscle cells (myocytes) in order to provide sufficient ATP
How do organelles contribute to the function of cells?
If a cell has a relatively large number of, say, mitochondria (sites of respiration), than we know that it needs to release a lot of energy. This applies to the muscles, which have many mitochondria in order for them to contract. This helps us move. Cells where active transport occurs, such as the kidneys and small intestine, also need lots of mitochondria to give off the energy that is necessary for this to take place. You won't find as many mitochondria in a skin cell, because these don't need to carry out respiration.
Why do sperm cell have a high density of mitochondria while the human cheek cell have only a few mitocondria?
Sperm cells need lots of ATP (created in mitochondria) for the reactions that cause the tail to propel to move it forward. Normal skin cells need only as much as required to keep the vital cell functions working.
Why does the small intestine have lots of mitochondria?
Many nutrients are absorbed actively.So this energy is produced by mitochondria.
