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.

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?

Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.


What kind of animal cells might have a lot of mitochondria present.?

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

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.

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.
