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 a high concentration of mitochondria in cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells and nerve cells.
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.
The number of mitochondria in an animal cell can vary depending on the cell type and its energy demands. On average, there can be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of mitochondria in a single animal cell.
Chloroplasts are organelles that are found in plant cells but not in animal cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration in plants, where glucose is broken down to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. This process involves the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain within the mitochondria.
The muscle cell
would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
You would expect to find a high concentration of mitochondria in cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells and nerve cells.
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.
MITOCHONDRIA
Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.

It would cease to exist. The mitochondria are the power plants.
That would be the organelle named Mitochondria.
After a fire that produces extensive damage the first plants you would expect to see growing would be small plants. These plants being grass.
The organelle that you would expect to find in a plant cell but not animal cell is the centrosomes.
