The liver is known for its ability to remove certain toxins from the blood. It can perform this function because its cells, or hepatocytes, contain large quantities of lysosomes and peroxisomes, and also have an extensive smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Briefly describe how these three organelles contribute to this major function of the liver. View Available Hint(s)

liver is one of the organs of the body that helps is degradation and removal of waste materials and toxins. Its made up of hepatocytes( liver cells) which contains organelles such as lysosome, peroxisomes and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

LYSOSOME is an intracellular organelles that helps in removal of wastes, engulf invading microbes and removal of toxins. It contains enzymes such as acid hydrolases. The lysosome engulf these toxins through endocytosis, digest the toxins with the help of tge enzyme after which they can be safely eliminated by the hepatocyte cells.

PEROXISOMES: These are intracellular organelles of the hepatocytes that contains enzymes such as oxidase and catalase. They detoxify substances such as alcohol and other harmful compounds through oxidative process.

SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: They are also intracellular organelles of the hepatocytes that help in the removal of toxic materials such as metabolic waste or drugs. They contain enzymes such as cytochrome P450 that can make lipid- soluble drugs and metabolic wastes into water soluble so that these substances can be expelled out of the body.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
