Why do the cells lining some parts of the nephron contain many mitochondria?

Why hasn't anyone answered this question yet?... does anyone know or what?...
Well maybe because the answer is rather obvious if you actually read your textbook and don't simply Google answers on the internet. But let's toss you a bone anyway.
The cuboidal cells of the kidneys are constantly being taxed to usher solutes and fluids through the lumen. Thus they require more energy and protein to maintain their efficacy.
Exactly mitochondria is the power house of any cell ,so thus produce energy for the over taxed cuboidial calls .

The cells lining the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron have many mitochondria because they need a lot of energy to actively transport substances like ions and molecules. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, which is used for various cellular processes.

In which segment of the nephron would you find cuboidal cells with many microvilli and mitochondria?
The Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Does blood contain Mitochondria?
No, blood cells do not contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in almost all eukaryotic cells, but they are absent in mature red blood cells.

2 organelles that contain thereown genetic material?
Chloroplasts in plant cells and mitochondria in animal cells contain their own mitochondria
Do muscles cells contain mitochondria?
Yes, they very much do.....all cells contain mitochondria!! Love always: KSKG112 <3
Do only animals have mitochondria?
No. Other cells such as plant cells contain mitochondria. However, prokaryotic cells such as bacteria do not contain mitochondria and respiration instead occurs on infolds in the plasma membrane called mesosomes.
Does blood contain Mitochondria?
No, blood cells do not contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in almost all eukaryotic cells, but they are absent in mature red blood cells.
Which cells contain the mitochondria organelle?
They are in eukaryotic cells. Prokariyotes do not have

Do both cells contain mitochondria?
sperm does
Does a mitochondria have a plant cell animal cells or both?
Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells. They are membrane-bound organelles responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
Does mitochondria contain hemoglobin?
No they do not contain.red blood cells even lack mitochondria
