smooth endoplasmic reticulum
ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is responsible for synthesizing lipids, while the liver is the main organ involved in detoxifying harmful substances through processes like oxidation and conjugation of toxins.
The cell membrane is the structure that surrounds a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is made up of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that selectively allow certain molecules and ions to pass through the membrane.
The outermost structure of a plant cell is a cell wall. Plant cells have cell walls for extra protection as they cannot move like animals and protists, whose outermost cell structure is the cell membrane, a thinner protective cover.
Proteins in a cell provide structure by forming filaments and networks that help maintain cell shape and integrity. They also contribute to the structure of organelles within the cell, such as the cytoskeleton and cell membrane. Additionally, proteins play a role in cell adhesion and cell-to-cell communication, which are essential for maintaining tissue structure and function.

Smooth ER it detoxifies poisons, alcohol, and drugs
Peroxisomes are cell structures that detoxify alcohol and hydrogen peroxide by using specific enzymes to break down these substances into harmless byproducts like water and oxygen. They are involved in various metabolic processes, including lipid metabolism and detoxification of harmful compounds.
the liver.
Peroxisomes
The peroxisome is the organelle scattered in the cytoplasm that detoxifies alcohol. It contains enzymes like catalase and alcohol dehydrogenase that help break down alcohol into less harmful byproducts like water and carbon dioxide.
Note that alcohol can also diffuse through the cell membrane as easy as water do. In addition, alcohol disrupt the structure of the cell membrane and increase the permeability of the cell membrane.
No,mitochondria is not responsible.Smooth ER does the detoxifying in the liver.
ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)
Alcohol can penetrate the bacterial cell membrane and disrupts the membrane structure, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately cell death. This disruption of the cell membrane interferes with the bacteria's ability to function and survive.
The Smooth ER
No, glycerol is not a component of the cell membrane structure. Glycerol is a simple sugar alcohol that is a key component of lipids such as triglycerides. Cell membranes are primarily composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates forming a phospholipid bilayer.
