One of the liver's main functions is to detoxify potentially toxic substances. Given this information, which organelle(s) would you expect liver cells to have in abundance? Explain.
The answer to this question would be: smooth endoplasmic reticulum
When detoxifying a substance, the liver will need some enzyme to break down the chemical or to change its structure so it will be less toxic. That mean liver will need a high amount of enzyme. Enzyme is protein, and protein is made by endoplasmic reticulum.
