Question

Cell organelle involved in the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds
(a) RER
(b) SER
(c) lysosome
(d) centosome
​

Answer 1

Explanation:smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) SER (Smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds.

Explanation:

Xenobiotic compounds are the waste materials such as certain drugs and toxins produced in the body.

One of the major functions smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is that it detoxifies the cell from the xenobiotic compounds by converting the lipid soluble (water insoluble) waste materials into water soluble (lipid insoluble) due to which it is excreted out of the cell.

SER of the liver cells performs this function majorly in human body as many toxins are produced in the liver.

Therefore, the correct option is (a) "SER is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds."
