Which organ removes toxins from the blood and helps turn food into fuel and nutrients?

• A. Liver
• B. Gallbladder
• C. Pancreas
• D. Heart

Answer: (A)

The liver handles both detoxification and metabolism, making it the best fit. It filters toxins from the bloodstream, processes drugs, and neutralizes harmful substances, then converts nutrients absorbed from the digestive system into energy and usable components for the body. It also produces bile to help digest fats.

The gallbladder stores bile but doesn’t detoxify blood. The pancreas makes digestive enzymes and hormones rather than cleansing the bloodstream. The heart pumps blood and isn’t involved in removing toxins or turning food into fuel.
