Solution
Q16. Endocytosis
In endocytosis, the cell engulfs some of its extracellular fluid including material dissolved or suspended in it.
Q17. Liver
Liver cells contain a large amount of smooth endoplasmic reticulum as liver functions to detoxify toxic substances. Smooth ER also plays a large part in detoxifying a number of organic chemicals converting them to safer water-soluble products.
Q18. modifies proteins, synthesizes lipids.
endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
