golgi, mitochondria, free ribosomes

|
golgi, mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
|
golgi, smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also contains enzymes responsible for degrading inorganic toxins, such as alcohol and drugs. This organelle is especially prevalent in hepatocytes (liver cells) where the blood if filtered and toxins are removed for degradation.
Detailed explanation-2: -mitochondria: An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
Detailed explanation-3: -In another example of form following function, cells that engage in a great deal of secretory activity (such as cells of the salivary glands that secrete digestive enzymes or cells of the immune system that secrete antibodies) have an abundance of Golgi.
