Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The presence of mitochondria and an extensive endoplasmic reticulum are the features that are important for adaptations of the plasma cell because plasma cells (white blood cells) secrete immune proteins also called antibodies which only formed due to the presence of endoplasmic reticulum whose function is to formed proteins for the cell so that's why plasma cells have large sized endoplasmic reticulum.
