Mitochondria are called the power-houses of the cell, because this is where cellular respiration occurs (where the energy is made).
Muscle cells perform much more work than cheek cells do, and so require more mitochondria.

Where is the mito condria found?
Mitochondria are small organelles in cells which provide them with the energy required for respiration to occur. Hence, they are found in the cytoplasm of all living cells but to different extents in different cells. For example, muscle cells will need more energy than, say, cheek cells, and will contain more mitochondria. Keep that in mind. I do hope that helped.

i dont know do you ask your dad
What is the differences of a human cheek cell and a leaf cell?
Liver Cells contain more Mitochondria than Cheek Cells because the Liver Cells need more energy, Liver Cells aid in Digestion and extract nutrients, whereas the Cheek protects against Bacteria and keeps the oral cavity moist, also cheek cells die and divide more often than Liver cells.
