Question
question 7 (1 point) which of the following cell types is likely to have the greatest number of mitochondria? a leaf cells b muscle cells c skin cells d bacteria
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration. Cells with high energy demands have more mitochondria. Muscle cells (option b) require a large amount of energy for contraction and movement, so they typically have more mitochondria than leaf cells (plant cells, with chloroplasts also contributing to energy), skin cells (lower energy demand), or bacteria (prokaryotes, lack mitochondria).
