Answer:
The intense and constant activity of insulin synthesis explains why pancreatic beta cells possess more rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes than other cells.
Explanation:
Both ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum are necessary for protein synthesis to occur. In cells whose function is to produce substances, such as glands, the content of these cellular structures is higher in order to fulfill their function.
The pancreatic beta cells, located in the islets of Langerhans, have the function of synthesizing insulin, an endocrine hormone in charge of regulating the glucose content in the blood. <u>Because the beta cells constantly produce insulin, their content of rugged endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes is high, in order to satisfy the demand for this hormone in the body</u>.
