Question

Glands in your neck contain digestive enzymes that help digest starch. Cells that produce and package digestive enzymes must contain relatively large amounts of __________ and ____________ in comparison to other cells.

A)
lysosomes; ribosomes

B)
ribosomes; Golgi bodies

C)
mitochondria; ribosomes

D)
Golgi bodies; mitochondria

Answer 1

A

Answer 2

A

Answer 3

If these are cells that secrete digestive enzymes, then they don't contain lots of lysosomes (those are used to digest material phagocytosed into the cell). These secretory cells must have lots of ribosomes to make the enzymes (which are proteins) and Golgi bodies because these secreted proteins are made in the rough ER, then processed and packaged into secretory vesicles in the Golgi. My answer is B.
