Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Mitochondria’
Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle cells have numerous mitochondria, more than other types of cells, so that they can quickly and forcefully respond to the body’s constant need for various types of movement.
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. These organelles, commonly referred to as the cell’s “power plants, ” convert nutrients into the molecule ATP, which stores energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Muscles cells contain more mitochondria because they have to release large amount of energy quickly for movement.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).
