Mitochondria produce energy (ATP) for cells. Cells with high energy demands have more mitochondria. Muscle cells require large amounts of ATP for contraction, so they have the highest number of mitochondria among the options. Skin cells, lung cells, and red blood cells (which lack mitochondria) have lower energy needs or no mitochondria.
