Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Due to energy needs, muscle cells usually have a lot of which organelle?
A
ribosomes
B
mitochondria
C
Golgi apparatus
D
lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 found in the cells of nearly every eukaryotic organism, including plants and animals. Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells, can contain hundreds or thousands of mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
