Which type of cells have the most mitochondria?
A
Plant cells
B
Bone cells
C
Muscle cells
D
Brain cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Liver cells contain 1000-2000 mitochondria in each cell. 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: -The muscle cells in the heart contain far more mitochondria than any other organ in the human body, with around 5, 000 mitochondria in every cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: It is generally believed that the cells that have the most mitochondria in them are the muscle cells. The mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles of the cell, so the tissues of the body that are involved with the most energy productive have the most mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscles cells contain more mitochondria because they have to release large amount of energy quickly for movement. I need help with “Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than bone cells"?

Detailed explanation-5: -Muscle cells undergo contraction and relaxation to cause movement. Therefore, these cells require more energy as compared to skin cells. Thus, they have more number of mitochondria compared to skin cells.
