In a pancreatic cell producing digestive enzyme, you would expect to find an elaborate
A) rough endoplasmic reticulum.
B) smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pancreas produces digestive enzymes, which are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) before being packaged in vesicles and transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and sorting. The rough ER is necessary for protein synthesis due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface, which help in the production of digestive enzymes. Consequently, the best choice is A, as the pancreas cell producing digestive enzyme would have an elaborate rough ER to synthesize these proteins.
