Moderate

Which of the following cell types would you expect to be abundant with endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies? I.Plasma B cells (produce antibodies)II. Adipose cells (store fats)III. Islet of Langerhans cells (secrete insulin)IV. Red blood cells (transport oxygen)

Correct answer: B. I and III only

  • A. I and II only
  • B. I and III only
  • C. III and IV only
  • D. II and III only

Explanation

Plasma B cells would be there as they are proteins so they would be secreted by the RER and packaged by the Golgi bodies. Islets of Langerhans cells would be taking help from the Golgi body as they need to be packaged and modified since they are hormones and are produced by the SER. Adipose tissue has no relations with ER and Golgi Body, as it simply has to store fat, there is no need of packaging or modification or even proteins. Red blood cells do no need ER or golgi body.

About Cell Structure and Function

Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
