One liver cell contains a lot of mitochondria as liver cells are highly regenerative and require a lot of energy as they carryout many bodily processes like
1)It stores excess of glucose in the form of glycogen which is used during starvation.
2)Liver secretes bile which emulsifies fats and makes the food alkaline.
3)In liver, excess amino acids are converted into ammonia by the process called deamination.
4)It synthesises Vitamins A, D, K and B12.
5)Blood proteins like prothrombin and fibrinogen are formed in the liver.
6)It produces red blood cells during early development thus working as a haematopoietic organ.
7)The Kuppfer cells of the liver digest old R.B.C.'s
SO, The liver cells may have around 1000-2000 mitochondria.
