Step-by-step explanation:

You are running on the school's cross country team. We would expect your muscle cells to contain many mitochondria to produce cellular energy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B

The mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell. The energy that is required for the the movement of the muscles is produced by the mitochondria.

It converts the nutrients and oxygen into ATP (adenosine tri phosphate) which is the energy molecule for the body to do work.
