Detoxification of drugs is the function of _ in a cell.
Correct answer: B. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- A. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- B. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- C. Liver cells
- D. Lysosome
Explanation
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a part of the endoplasmic reticulum which does not possess ribosomes studded on its membrane. It is involved in the detoxification of many poisons and drugs such as lipid soluble drugs, aspirin, insecticides (DDT), petroleum products and pollutants and converting them to safer water-soluble products.
