Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For technical reasons, many of these biochemical studies have been performed with mitochondria purified from liver; each liver cell contains 1000–2000 mitochondria, which in total occupy about one-fifth of the cell volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -5], we can assume that in the liver, the number of mitochondria could range from 500 to 4000 per hepatocyte.
Detailed explanation-3: -A typical animal cell will have on the order of 1000 to 2000 mitochondria. So the cell will have a lot of structures that are capable of producing a high amount of available energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each cell has between 100, 000 and 600, 000 mitochondria.
