In pancreas, granules containing enzymes are secreted by:
Correct answer: A. Golgi apparatus
- A. Golgi apparatus
- B. Endoplasmic reticulum
- C. Ribosome
- D. Lysosome
Explanation
The correct answer is the Golgi apparatus, which is crucial for processing and packaging proteins and enzymes into vesicles for secretion. In the pancreas, these vesicles contain digestive enzymes. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the initial stages of protein synthesis but does not handle secretion. Ribosomes synthesize proteins but do not secrete them. Lysosomes are involved in digestion within the cell and not in the secretion of enzymes.
