Answer:

More energy production

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscles are actively involved in movement. For this purpose, they require more energy as compared to other cells of the body. As mitochondria are responsible for energy production, hence muscle cells have a larger number of mitochondria as compare to skin cells.
