Makes lysosomes



*Analogy= set of pancakes

How can you tell by looking at someone's cells whether or not they consume a large amount of medicine or alcohol on a regular basis?

The more alcohol or drugs someone consumes, the more smooth ER they will have in order to detoxify the substances.

Mitochondria's function

provides energy
 
ATP production
 
cellular respiration takes place here
 
*Analogy= comapa in tampico

provides energy



ATP production



cellular respiration takes place here



*Analogy= comapa in tampico

How are liver cells different from muscles cells?

Liver cells = detoxify substances = more smooth endoplasmic retriculum
