Question

here is an image of the mitochondria. mitochondria numbers can differ between cell types based on the function of the cell. which of these cells would contain the highest number of mitochondria? a skin cell b lung cell c muscle cell d red blood cell

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, producing ATP. Muscle cells require a large amount of energy for contraction and movement, so they need more mitochondria to meet their high - energy demands compared to skin, lung, and red blood cells. Red blood cells lack mitochondria altogether, skin cells have a relatively low energy demand, and while lung cells are active, muscle cells have a higher energy requirement.

Answer:

C. muscle cell
