Detailed explanation-1: -To meet this energy demand, muscle cells contain mitochondria. These organelles, commonly referred to as the cell’s “power plants, ” convert nutrients into the molecule ATP, which stores energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
