Which cell organelle functions in the detoxification and metabolism of multiple molecules?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the detoxification and metabolism of multiple molecules. Its other functions include synthesis of carbohydrates, lipids, and steroid hormones; and the storage of calcium ions used for muscle contraction.
Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes which allow them to hydrolyze (break down) proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids taken into the cell as well as break down other worn out organelles within the cell. Lysosomes contain an acidic environment with a pH of around 4.5.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle responsible for membrane production. The rough ER is the part of the endoplasmic reticulum that is covered in ribosomes, which gives it its rough appearance. The rough ER is also the site of protein synthesis (the ribosomes attached to the rough ER synthesize the proteins).
The Golgi apparatus is the cell organelle responsible for packaging, processing, and shipping proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) throughout the cell.
