What organelles would be enhanced in a cell that produces digestive enzymes and secretes them into the intestine? Why?
Digestive enzymes are proteins, and they are produced at a high rate while a meal is being digested. Organelles that would be enhanced include the nucleus, which would have larger or more numerous nucleoli for making ribosomes; a larger number of ribosomes for making proteins; increased rough ER, where proteins to be secreted are made; more numerous or larger Golgi apparatus, where proteins are packaged for secretion; and more secretory vesicles to carry the enzymes to the surface of the cell.
