Which cells would carry an abundance of Golgi apparatus?

AImmune cells that secrete antibodies
BMuscle cells that contract rapidly
CRed cells that carry oxygen around
DNerve cells that conduct impulses
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Immune cells that secrete antibodies
1. Secretory vesicles bud from the trans face of the Golgi and release their contents outside the cell. 2. A cell that secretes heavily therefore needs a great deal of Golgi. 3. Salivary gland cells secreting digestive enzymes and immune cells secreting antibodies are the examples given. 4. Contraction and impulse conduction do not depend on heavy export of protein, so those cells have no such demand. 5. Antibody-secreting immune cells carry an abundance of Golgi. 6. Salivary gland cells secreting digestive enzymes are the other example given, and they carry the same heavy export demand. _Source: OpenStax Biology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Cell Structure", section 4.4 The Endomembrane System and Proteins_
