You do not consume alcoholic beverages, but your friend does, and he consumes these drinks
regularly and in large amounts. If we could examine your liver cells and compare with your friend, would we see a difference in smooth ER and peroxisomes?
Yes. There would definitely be a difference between our smooth ER and peroxisome because he/she drinks more alcohol and the role of these organelles are to detoxify drugs and deal with foreign substances. Because my friend drinks large amounts of alcohol, his/her liver cells will require the production of more smooth ER and peroxisome to detoxify more alcohol and other foreign substances from alcoholic beverages.
