my question is:
Propose why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukartic cells

Because the muscles use a lot more energy then other cells and because mitochondria can convert energy there is more located in the muscles to meet the energy demand.

Muslec need more energy to move, mitochondria is for making energy.

mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, producing ATP. muscle cells, both at rest and in motion, are constantly using ATP. hence the increase in amount of mitochondria.

i think, i'm not sure, but i think its because mitochondria has energy and when you use your muscle, you need more energy??? i'm not sure, but that would be my guess, don't you have a biology book to get the answer from??? lol, don't worry, i wouldn't want to read it either

they need more energy than the other cells to move, and mitochondria produce energy through celluar respiration
