Explain why it is useful for the pancreas cells that secrete digestive enzymes to have lots of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus

The rough ER contains many ribosomes.
Remember: ribosomes function in creating proteins (i.e. enzymes) from amino acids

The pancreas functions in the digestive system by producing many digesting enzymes. The cells of the pancreas must have lots of rough ER to meet this demand.

Answer:

Pancrease is body organ which is equipped for releasing enzymes in the body.

Enzymes are protenous in nature and needs modification before the secretions are released from the cell.

The cells must have huge number of rough endoplasmic reticulum which helps in translation and folding of proteins.

The golgi apparatus of the cell helps in the protein sorting, its packing and secretion.

So, the pancreas has golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum in it.
