Question
choose the correct answer. which type of cells have a high number of mitochondria due to their high energy demands? skin cells muscle cells nerve cells
Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, producing ATP. Muscle cells require a large amount of energy for contraction and movement, so they have a high number of mitochondria. Skin cells are mainly for protection and have relatively lower energy demands. Nerve cells have energy needs for signal transmission but not as high as muscle cells' energy needs for continuous physical work.
