Question

Why do secretory cells have Golgi apparatus in high numbers?

Answer 1

Golgi apparatus:

1. It is a cell organelle present in both plant and animal cells.
2. It was first discovered by Camillo Golgi.
3. It is a part of the endo membranous system.
4. It packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before they are dispatched to their target areas inside the body.

Secretory cells have high numbers of Golgi bodies because:

1. Any enzymes or substances being formed and secreted by the secretory cells are dispatched by the Golgi bodies.
2. Golgi apparatus ensures the transport of substances produced by the secretory cells to target areas.
3. Therefore, Golgi apparatus are found in abundance in secretory cells.
