Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Mitochondria’
Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle cells have numerous mitochondria, more than other types of cells, so that they can quickly and forcefully respond to the body’s constant need for various types of movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Detailed explanation-4: -Each nucleus regulates the metabolic requirements of the sarcoplasm around it. Skeletal muscle cells have high energy requirements, so they contain many mitochondria in order to generate sufficient ATP.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, cells that have high energy requirements, like a muscle cell would have an increased amount of mitochondria because mitochondria are essential for the production of ATP. It is for this reason that mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell.
