1. a cell makes and secretes a protein based hormone. this particular cell would have a great amount of rer and:

select one:
a. ser
b. golgi complex
c. mitochondria
d. lysosomes
clear my choice

Explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is involved in protein synthesis. After proteins are synthesized in the RER, they are transported to the Golgi complex for modification, packaging and secretion. So a cell that makes and secretes a protein - based hormone would have a large amount of RER and Golgi complex. SER is involved in lipid synthesis, mitochondria are for energy - production, and lysosomes are for digestion.

Answer:

B. Golgi complex
