Verified step by step guidance1
Muscle cells have high energy demands due to their role in contraction and movement.
The organelle responsible for energy production in cells is the mitochondrion.
Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouses' of the cell because they generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through cellular respiration.
In muscle cells, a high number of mitochondria are present to meet the energy requirements for sustained and rapid contractions.
Therefore, mitochondria are abundant in muscle cells to support their high energy needs.
