Solution

Cells lining the stomach have a high number of mitochondria as they require high amounts of energy for secretion and release of substances into the stomach. Also, they have a high amount of golgi bodies because most of the cells of stomach lining are secretory cells and require secretion of materials into the stomach cavity.
