The following data were collected by observing subcellular structures of three different types of eukaryotic cells.
RELATIVE AMOUNTS OF ORGANELLES IN THREE CELL TYPES
Cell Type | Smooth ER | Rough ER | Mitochondria | Cilia | Golgi Bodies |
X | Small amount | Small amount | Large number | Present | Small amount |
Y | Large amount | Large amount | Moderate number | Absent | Large amount |
Z | Absent | Absent | Absent | Absent | Absent |
Based on an analysis of the data, identify a likely primary function of each cell type and explain how the data support the identification.
