Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for detoxifying drugs and other chemicals in liver cells, so hepatocytes have large amounts of it. DNA is found in all cells, microtubules are involved in cell division and movement, cilia are found in certain types of cells for movement, and centrioles are involved in cell division. However, none of these are specifically related to detoxification as is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
