Question
a cell that produces large amounts of steroid hormones would likely have an abundance of which organelle? rough er smooth er nucleolus ribosomes
Brief Explanations
Steroid hormones are lipids, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER) is responsible for lipid synthesis (including steroid hormones). Rough ER is for protein synthesis with ribosomes, nucleolus is involved in ribosome production, and ribosomes make proteins. So a cell producing many steroid hormones would have abundant Smooth ER.
