In which cells woul dyou expect to find the greater number of mitochondria: cells that are very active or cells that are not very active? Why?

I would think in cells that are very active because if I remember correctly from my bio class two years ago, Mitochondria serve as "energy houses" for the cell. A cell that is more active will therefore need more energy than a cell that just sits around on its *** all day :P.

Hint: Mitochondria are called "power house" of the cell because they help in energy production :)
