Lysosome has digestive enzymes that can digest foreign cells that enter the body. These foreign cells can cause infections or diseases. White blood cells are the defence system of the body, that's why it makes sense why they contain many lysosomes. White blood cells can engulf foreign cells to prevent infections or diseases.

Why do muscle cells contain a great number of mitochondria while white blood cells contain many lysosome?

For the proper functioning of muscles ie,for lcomotion it needs more enegy, mitochondria is the major site of energy production in the form of ATP where the major function of WBC is to give immunity,lysosome function to dystroy the forigen inviders.

What are the key differences between white muscle and red muscle in terms of their structure and function?

White muscle and red muscle differ in their structure and function. White muscle is pale in color, has fewer blood vessels and mitochondria, and is used for short bursts of activity. Red muscle is darker in color, has more blood vessels and mitochondria, and is used for sustained activity. White muscle is better suited for strength and power, while red muscle is better suited for endurance and stamina.

Which cell organelle is responsible for the digestion of the bacteria?

I believe the answer you are looking for is lysosomes. Lysosomes are common in animal cells, but not so much in plants, and they contain hydrolytic enzymes that aid in intracellular digestion. Basically, when white blood cells eat bacteria, lysomes are released onto the bacteria, which kills them (and breaks them down.) The process is called necrotic cell death.
