Question
You would expect a cell with an extensive Golgi apparatus to do which of the following: A. Make a lot of ATP B. Secrete a lot of material C. Move actively D. Perform photosynthesis
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Cells that are highly active in secreting substances (e.g., mucus-secreting gland cells, antibody-secreting plasma cells) have a very extensive and well-developed Golgi apparatus to handle the large volume of proteins and other molecules being processed and packaged for export.
Hint
This organelle's size reflects the cell's need to package and ship materials.
