Skeletal muscles cells contain
A
multiple nuclei
B
mitochondria
C
Both multiple nuclei and multiple mitochondrion
D
no nuclei
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle cells, commonly known as myocytes, are the cells that make up muscle tissue. Skeletal muscle cells are long, cylindrical, multi-nucleated and striated. Skeletal muscle cells have high energy requirements, so they contain many mitochondria in order to generate sufficient ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -muscle cells have one nucleus and one mitochondrion. muscle fibers of skeletal muscle contain several nuclei. the following are characteristics that allow muscles to function as they do: excitability, contractibility, extensibility, and regulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -During strenuous exercise, the rate of energy use in skeletal muscles can increase by more than 100-fold almost instantly. To meet this energy demand, muscle cells contain mitochondria.
