Solution

Mitochondria is the answer because

It is a organelle that peoduces ATP for cellular activity specially contraction in muscle cells.

By using citric acid cycle and electron transport chain more ATP are formed to start activity of contraction of muscle.

Cellular respiration is occure inside mitochondria.

Chloroplast is absent in muscle cells.

Golgi are just sort and transport proteins.

SER are used to synthesize fats and lipids and detoxify.

Lysosomes used to destruct and digest some unwanted things of cell.
