Detailed explanation-1: -There are usually multiple mitochondria found in one cell, depending upon the function of that type of cell. Mitochondria are located in the cytoplasm of cells along with other organelles of the cell.
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: -Four main mitochondrial types can be distinguished on the basis of functional criteria concerning how or whether ATP is produced. These functional types do not correspond to natural groups, because they occur in an interleaved manner across the tree of eukaryotic life.
