Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
which kind of cells would have the most mitochondria?
A
brain cells
B
bone cells
C
plant cells
D
muscle cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heart, sperms, and muscle cells contain about 5, 000 mitochondria per cell. These cells need more energy, so they contain more mitochondria than any other organ in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscles require a large amount of energy to function. This is provided primarily by mitochondria in cells that consume a lot of energy. We therefore find more of these powerhouses of the cell in muscle cells than in other cell types with a lower metabolic rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm of cells along with other organelles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The skeletal muscle cell can have upto 30, 000 mitochondria per cell. Cardiac muscle cell contain around 7000 mitochondria per cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The heart muscle has a large number of mitochondria to provide sufficient energy. The heart muscle needs the energy to pump blood into the body. Pumping is promoted by mitochondria. The heart muscle is very active and continuously functioning, so it needs more energy.
