You do find mitochondria in both plant and animal cells as eukaryote cells made this symbiotic bargain with free ranging bacteria that became mitochondria. Both plants and animals use the product of mitochondria, ATP, to do cellular work.
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
Because mitochondria are used for oxidative phosphorylation, which doesn't occur in anaerobic respiration
This, of course, would be the mitochondria.Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol outside said organelle.
You would expect to see a large number of ribosomes (or rough ER) and mitochondria. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, and mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration. In a cell actively creating a product, you would expect more mitochondria in order to meet the energy needs of the cell and rapid utilization of ameno acids for protein synthesis
Mitochondria are numerous in eukaryotic cells.
The muscle cell
Absolutely. The mitochondria are the basic energy creating organelles for the cell. Without them, the cell would die. A plant cell could probably survive off its chloroplasts, but its definently not a given.
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?

MITOCHONDRIA
Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.

It would cease to exist. The mitochondria are the power plants.
Mitochondria
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?
That would be the organelle named Mitochondria.
