Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for synthesizing and modifying proteins. The Golgi apparatus then processes and packages the proteins for distribution. Therefore, a cell that produces many proteins for secretion would have a large amount of rough ER and Golgi apparatus. Option A is incorrect because mitochondria produce ATP and cilia are involved in movement. Option C is incorrect because ribosomes are found in all cells and centrioles are mainly involved in cell division. Option D is incorrect because microvilli are involved in increasing surface area for absorption and secretion. Option E is incorrect because lysosomes are involved in digesting materials and breaking down cellular waste.
