Solution
The correct option is C (c) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The correct option is C:
Explanation of the correct option.
- Every organelle in a cell is involved in a specific function.
- Drugs and Poisons are harmful to the body, so they should be removed by the body.
- Detoxification means changing these harmful drugs into simpler components so that they do not harm the body.
- Process of detoxification is carried out by smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Explanation of the incorrect option
- Golgi apparatus, Vacuoles, and Lysosomes are not capable of detoxifying harmful components.
Concluding statement
The cell organelle involved in detoxifying the harmful drugs and poisons is the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
