Question

Which of the following statement is true for a secretory cell?

Options

• Golgi apparatus is absent.

• Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is easily observed in the cell.

• Only smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is present.

• Secretory granules are formed in nucleus.

Answer 1

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is easily observed in the cell.

Explanation:

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is found in cells that are actively producing protein. Other choices are erroneous since secretory cells contain the Golgi apparatus. Both SER and RER are found in secretory cells. The SER is the primary location for lipid synthesis. The nucleus contains no secretory granules.
