Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glandular cells are specialized cells that produce and secrete various types of hormones, enzymes, and other proteins. Therefore, they require a lot of rough endoplasmic reticulum to synthesize and process these proteins before they are secreted. Liver cells also synthesize a large amount of proteins, but this is not mentioned as the best choice because glandular cells are specifically designed for protein synthesis and secretion. Red blood cells, skin cells, and brain cells do not synthesize a large amount of protein, so they would not require a lot of rough endoplasmic reticulum.
