Question
Which one of the following combinations of structural features are expected to be present in a secretory cell?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Secretory cells, especially those producing proteins for export, typically have a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) for protein synthesis and a prominent Golgi apparatus for modifying, sorting, and packaging these proteins into secretory vesicles. While secretory granules are present, the combination of RER and Golgi is the most fundamental structural feature for protein secretion.
Hint
Think about the organelles involved in the synthesis, modification, and packaging of proteins for export.
