Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells of vertebrates helps in detoxifying poisons and drugs. It contains enzymes that catalyze a number of reactions that can make lipid-soluble drugs and metabolic wastes into water-soluble so that these can easily be expelled out from the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (sER). Also, hepatocytes in the liver have abundant sER where it is involved in detoxification and glycogen metabolism.
Detailed explanation-3: -What organelle is responsible for this detoxification? Explanation: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is primarily responsible for the production of lipids and for the detoxification of drugs and toxins from the body.
