There are many mitochondria in muscle cells. Which best explains how this is important to cellular respiration?

Muscle cells use a great deal of energy to contract. The final stages of cellular respiration, including the electron transport chain that produces most of the cell’s ATP, take place in mitochondria, so having many mitochondria helps meet this energy demand. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, not in mitochondria.
