Liver cells have more endoplasmic reticulum of the smooth type (SER) and from the roles of the liver is detoxification of chemicals and that is accomplished by the SER protiens , detoxification means transforming toxic materials to harmless , for that using drugs a lot may hurt the liver

What is the system of intricate passageways inside cells called the reticulum?

The system of intricate passageways inside cells is called the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and detoxification within the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum can be further divided into rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (without ribosomes).

What is the function of SER smooth endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells of vertebrates?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) in liver cells of vertebrates is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and steroid hormone synthesis. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of lipids and cholesterol, as well as the detoxification of drugs and other harmful substances through processes such as cytochrome P450 enzyme activity.


Do plants have endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes, plants have endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a vital organelle in plant cells involved in various functions such as protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and calcium storage. The ER in plants is structurally similar to that in animal cells.


Does the prokaryotic cell have endoplasmic reticulum?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that plays a role in protein and lipid synthesis. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles.
