Detailed explanation-1: -Liver cells contain 1000-2000 mitochondria in each cell. 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: -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: -Muscles cells contain more mitochondria because they have to release large amount of energy quickly for movement. I need help with “Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than bone cells"?
