The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is the organelle responsible for producing steroid hormones in the testes and detoxifying alcohol in the liver. In the testes, it synthesizes hormones such as testosterone, while in the liver, it plays a crucial role in metabolizing various toxins, including alcohol. The SER's structure is well-suited for these functions, as it lacks ribosomes, allowing for the synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones.
The organelle you are referring to is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It plays a key role in detoxifying harmful substances like drugs and alcohol through enzymes, as well as in synthesizing lipids and proteins. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface, unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle that is responsible for synthesizing proteins and lipids, as well as detoxifying alcohol and other drugs through enzymes located in its membrane. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
No,mitochondria is not responsible.Smooth ER does the detoxifying in the liver.
Excessive alcohol consumption can disrupt the production of thyroid hormones and affect the functioning of the thyroid gland. It can lead to a decrease in the levels of thyroid hormones, exacerbating the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Additionally, alcohol can interfere with the metabolism of thyroid hormones in the body, further impacting thyroid function.
The sugar created during the fermentation process that produces alcohol is called glucose. Yeast consumes the glucose in the presence of water to produce ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide.

The alcohol stops many of the normal liver functions because it's too busy detoxifying the alcohol. The normal functions resume when the alcohol is gone, though, if enough of the liver is undamaged.
The liver is the organ in the body that breaks down alcohol, not a specific organelle within a cell. The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver helps convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is then further broken down into non-toxic substances.

no drugs only and alcohol. hormones are tested completely different
fermentation
Fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. Burning the alcohol produces more carbon dioxide.
Yes. Yeast produces alcohol. It is ethanol is called 'Anaerobic' respiration.
