A cell which is actively involved in the detoxification of chemicals would contain large quantities of
A)ribosomes.
B)mitochondria.
C)peroxisomes.
D)rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peroxisomes are the organelles that are involved in detoxification of chemicals, especially reactive oxygen species (ROS). They contain enzymes like catalase and peroxidase which help in detoxification reactions. Therefore, a cell actively involved in detoxification would have large quantities of peroxisomes. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, mitochondria produce energy, and rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis, processing, and transport. While these organelles may be present in cells actively involved in detoxification, they are not directly related to the detoxification process itself.
