Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Stomach cells need to package and secrete large amounts of enzymes for use in digestion. Which of the following organelles would be found in a higher-than-normal frequency in stomach cells?
A
ribosomes
B
lysosomes
C
chloroplasts
D
Golgi apparati
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are crucial for healthy organ and tissue function. For example, secretory vesicles in the stomach will transport protein-digesting enzymes to help break down food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Golgi apparatus ensures the transport of substances produced by the secretory cells to target areas. Therefore, Golgi apparatus are found in abundance in secretory cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
