Assume that you ate a salad that contained some compounds that upset your stomach but still managed to be absorbed and eventually moved into liver cells. the plant compounds are noxious and potentially toxic to the liver cells. which organelle would be expected to target and detoxify the plant compounds?

Peroxisome is the organelle that would be expected to target and detoxify the plant compounds.

Peroxisomes are tiny membrane-bound organelles that contain several enzymes which are involved in various biochemical pathways in different types of cells. Peroxisomes go through oxidation reactions that results in the production of hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to the cell. The enzyme catalase is present in the peroxisomes. Catalase neutralizes the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide by decomposing it to water and oxygen. In that way, certain molecules such as fatty acids, amino acids, and uric acids are broken down by oxidative reactions in peroxisomes.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
