You'll find more mitochondria in a animal cell because we produce energy through our mitochondria's. Plants make energy through there cell wall. We need more mitochondria's to make energy.

The greatest number of mitochondria are found in the cells of the muscle heart, called the cardiomyocytes. A high amount of energy is needed for the constant contraction of the heart muscles.

Animal cells. They cannot go through photosynthesis, therfore depend completely on the mitochondria to make ATP.

Since mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, cells that require a large amount of energy have the largest number of mitochondria. Muscle cells are one example.

Which organelle would you expect to see a lot in muscle cells?

Mitochondria because this releases energy from stored food molecules which is used for power growth, development, and movement. muscle cells have a greater demand for this than any other body cells.


Does mitochondria happen with animal cells?

Mitochondria, the energy producing organelle located inside a eurkaryotic cell is indeed found in animals. Animal cells(which are eukaryotic cells) are made up of a variety of organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and of coarse the nucleus. If animals didn't have mitochondria in their cellls, they wouldn't be able to breathe, exercise, watch t.v. or post answers on wikianswers.com :) Without energy you would be a piece of limp cells and tissues lacking nutrients or any proper nourishments. You would simply be dead. We animals need energy to live, let alone carry out the common activities that can be done in a daily routine. MITOCHONDRIA ARE IMPORTANT FOR SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!! So your answer is yes, mitochondria can be found inside animals.

What is the endosymbiotic theory?

The Endosymbiotic Theory is a theory about how mitochondria and chloroplasts formed. The theory suggests that both the mitochondria and chloroplasts were once prokaryotic cells that were ingested but not digested by eukaryotic cells. This would explain why both have their own DNA.
