C)Lysosomes
D)Ribosomes
E)Mitochondria

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration. Muscle cells have a high demand for energy due to their contractile activities, so they require a large number of mitochondria to meet their energy needs. The other organelles listed (peroxisomes, endosomes, lysosomes, ribosomes) do not play a significant role in energy production.
