They help to detoxify the harmful drugs:
Correct answer: B. SER
- A. Ribosomes
- B. SER
- C. RER
- D. Golgi bodies
Explanation
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in various functions, including lipid metabolism, calcium storage, and detoxification. In particular, the SER plays a significant role in the detoxification of harmful drugs and toxins in cells.
