Detailed Solution

Red muscle fibres: These muscle fibres are rich in myoglobin (which gives them a red color) and have a high density of mitochondria. Myoglobin stores oxygen, enabling these fibres to rely on aerobic metabolism for energy production. 

White muscle fibres: These muscle fibres have a lower myoglobin content (making them appear paler) and fewer mitochondria compared to red muscle fibres. They rely more on anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) for energy production, as they are less dependent on oxygen. White muscle fibres also have high sarcoplasmic reticulum compared to red muscle fibres.
