Why does one kind of cell have a prominent Golgi complex while another kind of cell appers to lack this organelle?

Answer 1

Golgi complex package protein and export. Not all organelle require protein. where as the one that has prominent Golgi complex is located where it requires a lot of protein secretion like glands etc.

Answer 2

Different cell types have different organelle compositions based on their functions and needs. Cells that produce a lot of proteins for secretion or transport, like secretory cells, have a prominent Golgi complex to modify and package proteins. Cells that do not require extensive protein processing, such as red blood cells, may have a reduced or absent Golgi complex.
