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 else can I help you with?
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.
Large numbers of which organelle would be present in a cell that actively transports a lot of glucose across its membrane?
Active transport requires energy. Energy is released as a result of respiration, and respiration takes place in mitochondria. So major sites of active transport, such as kidney nephrons and villi in the small intestine need relatively large number of these organelles.
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.

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.

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.
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 has lots of mitochondria?
Metabollically very active cells.As examples,cardiac,muscle cells.
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.

Active transport requires energy. Energy is released as a result of respiration, and respiration takes place in mitochondria. So major sites of active transport, such as kidney nephrons and villi in the small intestine need relatively large number of these organelles.
