Why do muscle cells have more golgi bodies than, say, cheek cells?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Muscle cells contain a higher number of Golgi bodies compared to cheek cells due to their significant role in protein synthesis, packaging, and storage. The Golgi apparatus is essential for processing proteins, which are critical for muscle development and repair. This difference in Golgi body quantity directly correlates with the protein demands of muscle tissue, highlighting the specialized functions of cellular organelles in various cell types.
