Hello.. Here is your answer
Mitochondria are the energy factories for all cells. ATP synthesis occurs in them by ADP and Pyruvate synthesising to create ATP, which is energy. Muscle cells work hard and therfore require a lot of energy thus they contain more mitochondria to produce a high level of ATP.
Mitochondria participate in aerobic (i.e., in the presence of oxygen) cellular respiration. Red bloods cells transport oxygen; by lacking mitochondria, RBCs use none of the oxygen they transport. Instead they produce the energy carrier ATP from glucose anaerobically by a glycolysis pathway that ends with lactic acid production.
