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: -Some different cells have different amounts of mitochondria because they need more energy. So for example, the muscle has a lot of mitochondria, the liver does too, the kidney as well, and to a certain extent, the brain, which lives off of the energy those mitochondria produce.
Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle cells have more number of mitochondria than the other cells in the body.
