Beta cells in the pancreas produce and secrete the protein hormone insulin.You would expect to see a relatively large amount of which organelles in these cells?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins, including insulin, for secretion. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is also important for protein synthesis and secretion. Therefore, beta cells in the pancreas would have a relatively large amount of these organelles to facilitate insulin production and secretion. The other organelles listed are not directly involved in this process.
